NOTE: As of One Identity Manager version 8.2, there is One Identity Manager connector support for synchronizing databases with different product versions or a different number of modules. If possible, use the One Identity Manager connector for synchronizing of One Identity Manager databases. For more information, see the One Identity Manager User Guide for the One Identity Manager Connector.
The generic database connector can also be used to synchronize One Identity Manager databases with different product versions or modules. The following prerequisites apply for connecting this type of database:
-
If the two databases have different One Identity Manager versions, the database with the earlier version must be connected as the target system. This means that synchronization is configured on the database with the newer version.
-
To have write access to the target system database, this database must
-
Be connected through an application server
-
Have at least Version 7.0.
-
-
For data changes in the target system database, the REST API of the application server is used. The HTTP request methods POST, GET, PUT, and DELETE must be permitted by the application server’s web server.
-
The following applies for encrypted databases:
-
Both databases to be synchronized use the same private key.
-
The encrypted data is transmitted in encrypted form during synchronization. The data is not decrypted in this process.
-
-
The following applies to synchronizing in the Target system direction:
Objects that are only in the target system database cannot be marked as outstanding in the target system. The MarkAsOutstanding processing method is not available for the synchronization steps.
