Upstream systems are authoritative systems with systems of records that can be imported into EmpowerID. The system of records can be related to personnel, geographical, department, or role, etc. An example of such Up Stream system is HR systems that have data about each person in an organization and that data can be feed into EmpowerID to start managing the identities of the person. This helps you get started with identity management immediately with your existing data from the systems that you already use.
EmpowerID seamlessly supports synchronization of accounts, locations, and roles data from Up Stream Systems Applications. This process of synchronization termed inventory in EmpowerID is possible with of out of box connectors shipped with EmpowerID, connectors have already been explored in previous sections. You will have to create an account store for your Up Stream system to enable inventory with EmpowerID Identity Warehouse using the connectors. Once the account stores are configured with Scheduled Connector Jobs the data can flow in regular configured intervals. These upstream systems can also be configured to synchronize data both ways - into empowered from upstream and from EmpowerID to upstream systems using by using bidirectional connector mode.
In this section, we explore 2 major connectors provided to connect your Up Stream Systems.
Code-Free Flat File:Universal Flat File Connector can inventory data from CSV or any flat-file delimited by a pipe, a tab, or any single value character
Universal Connector: Use an intermediate database to export your data, and EmpowerID will inventory the data from that database, and provisions objects in EmpowerID
