EmpowerID provides connectors to inventory data from your organization's identity-aware systems and applications. To connect EmpowerID to a downstream system, you create an account store object in EmpowerID for that system and then configure the account store for how you want EmpowerID to manage the identity information in that system. Such user directories and resource systems can be managed and synchronized using Scheduled Connector Jobs. These jobs read current state data from the target systems and reconcile it with the data in the identity warehouse to maintain synchronization with the external system.
In this section, we will learn two important connectors for the Downstream Systems,
Active Directory: Out-of-the-box connector for Microsoft Active Directory that inventories and performs CRUD (Create, Update, Delete) operations for the user, contact, group, user/group assignments, and Organizational Unit objects in the domain.
Azure Active Directory: Azure Active Directory connector is a SCIM-compliant REST API microservice that you can deploy to Azure Active Directory to inventory user, group, group membership, role, and license information from an Azure tenant.
