Configure reconciliation
To enable automated reconcile users with another system, we need to use the reconciliation functionality in OpenIAM. At a high level, the reconciliation engine is responsible for:
- Getting data from the connector and bringing it into OpenIAM
- This can be done either on an ad-hoc basis or it can be a regularly scheduled task.
- Mapping the incoming data from the source to objects in the OpenIAM system
- Passing the incoming data to the provisioning service to update downstream systems.
- Compare data in Open IAM with data from connector and make different actions according situations:
- Object exists in IDM and object exists in Target system.
- Object exists in IDM and object not exists in Target system.
- Object not exists in IDM and object exists in Target system.
- Object deleted in IDM and object exists in Target system.
