Overview

Active Directory connector helps synchronize the identity data between Cross Identity and the target application. 

The architectural diagram helps us to understand the Active Directory connector:

Step 1: When the operation is performed on Cross Identity, the request is sent to the Cross Identity Agent. Cross Identity Agent identifies a connector and sends the request to the connector.

Step 2: The connector will communicate with Active Directory. (For example, the connector can be used to perform reconciliation of the accounts using the active directory on the target application).

Step 3: CI Agent identifies the Active Directory Connector.

Step 4: This connector communicates with the application. After establishing the connection, accounts can be fetched from the application based on the reconciliation condition. In addition, some roles are defined, which include incremental reconciliation.

Step 5: Finally, the connector will prepare the data, encrypt and sends it back to the Cross Identity via Rest API.
