SailPoint Identity Security Cloud Multi Host Groups

Posted on by Sreeja Agamamidi in Technology

Introduction:

Modern Enterprises have huge infrastructure and configurations, governing and managing them in complex and difficult.

To overcome this problem, SailPoint Identity Security Cloud Multi Host Groups allows easier management of infrastructure and related integrations.

Multi Host Groups helps bulk source creation of infrastructure components and server configurations from a centralized location.

Basically, it is a container which holds sources and associated account aggregation and entitlement aggregation groups. So that we can aggregate all the sources at once, instead of doing one at a time.

From the diagram we can see, without multi host group, we need to aggregate all the sources, one at a time, which will be redundant and time consuming, but using multi host groups we can aggregate a group of sources once.

Features:

Below, is the list of available features in SailPoint Identity Security Cloud Multi Host Groups:

  • Bulk Source Integration
  • Support for MS SQL Server and Oracle Database Connector use cases
  • Aggregation Groups
  • Centralized integrations

In this blog, we will be discussing about the Identity Security Cloud Multi Host Group in detail. The following are the key topics that are discussed as part of the blog.

  1. What is Multi Host Group?
  2. Key Features of Multi Host Group.
  3. Creating and Viewing Multi Host Groups.
  4. Editing, Testing and Deleting Multi Host Groups
  5. Managing Account and Entitlement Aggregation Groups
  6. Limitations and Best Practices

In the video blog of SailPoint Identity Security Cloud Multi Host Groups, we will be discussing above mentioned topics.

SailPoint Identity Security Cloud Loopback Connector

Posted on by Sreeja Agamamidi in Technology

Problem:

In SailPoint Identity Security Cloud, we often face challenges in managing and governing user level permissions and governance group membership effectively, which may lead to unauthorized access and audit failures. Governing access inside Identity Security Cloud is important.

Current blog helps govern access in Identity Security Cloud using Identity Security Cloud loopback connector.

Solution – Loopback connector:

The purpose of loopback connector is used to manage Identity Security Cloud user levels and governance groups as entitlements.

Users can request for elevated user levels permissions and governance groups as entitlements through request center. Once that is approved user will get required higher permission or governance group membership based on requested entitlement.

Supported Operations:

Below are the supported operations in loopback connector:

  • Account Aggregation
  • Governance Groups Aggregation
  • User levels Aggregation
  • Provisioning
  • Add Entitlement
  • Remove Entitlement

Operations and APIs

Below is the list of endpoints we used for each operation in loopback connector:

S. NoOperationsEndpoints
1Account Aggregation/v3/accounts
2Governance Group Aggregation/beta/workgroups
3Provisioning/v3/accounts
4Authentication/oauth/token
5Add Entitlement for User Levels/v3/auth-users/:id
6Add Entitlement for Governance Groups/v3/workgroups/accessId/members/bulk-add

In this blog, we will be discussing about the Identity Security Cloud Loopback Connector in detail. The following are the key topics that are discussed as part of the blog.

  1. Problem statement
  2. What is loopback connector and what we can achieve from that?
  3. Use cases we can achieve using loopback connector
  4. What are the supported operations?
  5. End points used for each operation.

In the video blog of SailPoint Identity Security Cloud Loopback Connector, we will be discussing above mentioned topics.

Detailed demo on developing & testing loopback connector is present in the following video.

All the mentioned technical components are only available for internal use. However, refer to the below table for an overview on different technical components, which can be used to develop the loopback connector.

S. NoComponent NameUse
1Java ProgramThis program is used to take details like tenant id, client id, client secret and source id and update all rules with provided input data.
2Account Aggregation RuleThis is Webservice After Operation Rule. Users can build this rule in such a way, where they can read all the available accounts from the respective tenant.
3User Levels Aggregation RuleThis is Webservice After Operation Rule. Users can build this rule in such a way, where they can read all user levels available from the respective tenant.
4Governance Groups Aggregation RuleThis is Webservice After Operation Rule. Users can build this rule in such a way, where they can read all the available governance groups from the respective tenant..
5Add EntitlementThis is Webservice Before Operation Rule. Users can build this rule in such away, upon entitlement request, respective governance group membership or elevated permissions are assigned to users
6Remove EntitlementThis is Webservice Before Operation Rule. Users can build this rule in such away, respective governance group membership or elevated permissions are removed from users.

SailPoint IdentityNow Workflows

About SailPoint IdentityNow Workflows:

IdentityNow workflows are a way to automate processes related to Identity Security Cloud. These processes when carried individually are manual, error prone and laborious in nature.

Here are a few examples of the power of workflows.

  1. Design workflows that can handle a growing number of users onboarding requests, ensuring scalability as the organization hires new employees.
  2. Design workflow to raise tickets in ticketing system to automate the resolution of access-related issues reported by users, ensuring a streamlined process.
  3. Modify an existing workflow to include new steps for managing temporary access during a special project, adapting to changing business needs.
  4. Implement a workflow for access reviews that automatically identifies and revokes unnecessary access rights, ensuring that users only retain permissions relevant to their current roles.
  5. Streamline access request procedures including approval steps for access approval or modification.
  6. Send email alert when an identity changes group in end application.
  7. No human involvement while configuring and activating certification campaign when identity changes department and also send email alert to reviewer.

In this video blog, we will be discussing about the IdentityNow workflows in detail. The following are the key topics that are discussed as part of the blog.

  1. Why SailPoint introduced Workflow in IdentityNow
  2. Available platforms in IdentityNow to build a workflow.
  3. General terminology and use of Inline variables
  4. Simulating and testing a workflow
  5. Migrate workflows between sandbox and production.

The detailed discussion of Workflows, it’s terminology and configuration process are present in the following video.

Detailed demo on developing & testing workflows in all 3 possible ways is present in the following video.
