Quick Connect Sync Engine 5.5 - Administrator Guide

Mapping tab

Allows you to manage mapping pairs and mapping rules for existing connections. To view or modify mapping pairs or rules for a connection, click the name of that connection on the Mapping tab. For more information on mapping pairs and rules, see Mapping objects.

On the Mapping tab, you can use the following elements (some of these elements become available only after you create at least one connection to an external data system):

• Filter by. Allows you to filter existing connections by the letters or text you type in the text box. The filter only applies to the connection names.
• Sort by. Allows you to sort existing connections by connection name, name of the connector used, or the frequency of usage in the synchronization workflow steps.
• <Connection Name>. Displays the name of a connection. You can click a connection name to view or modify the mapping settings for the corresponding connection.

When you click a connection name on this tab, you can manage mapping pairs for the connection by using the following elements (some of these elements become available after you create at least one mapping pair for the connection):

• Add mapping pair. Allows you to specify the types of objects in two connected systems for which you want to create a mapping pair.
• <ObjectType1> - <ObjectType2>. Represents a mapping pair and displays the object types that belong to the same mapping pair. You can click a mapping pair to view and change the scope of conditions where the object types belonging to that mapping pair will be mapped. To define these conditions, you can create mapping rules.
• Schedule. Allows you to schedule a recurring map operation for the current pair of objects.
• Map now. Allows you to manually run the map operation on the current pair of objects.
• Delete. Deletes the mapping pair on which you click this link.

When you click a mapping pair, you can manage mapping rules for the mapping pair by using the following elements (some of these elements become available only after you create at least one mapping rule for the mapping pair):

• Map now. Allows you to manually run the map operation on the mapping pair by using the conditions specified in the existing mapping rules.
• Unmap. Allows you to unmap the objects that were earlier mapped according to the settings specified for the mapping pair.
• Schedule mapping. Allows you to schedule a recurring map operation for the mapping pair.
• Add mapping rule. Allows you to create a rule that will define a condition for mapping objects that belong to the mapping pair.
• Delete rule. Deletes the mapping rule on which you click this link.
• Move up. Moves the current mapping rule one position up in the list.
• Move down. Moves the current mapping rule one position down in the list.

Mapping rules are applied in the order they are listed.

Password Sync tab

Allows you to manage password sync rules to automate password synchronization from a specified Active Directory domain to other connected data systems. For more information, see Automated password synchronization.

On the Password Sync tab, you can use the following elements (some of these elements become available only after you create at least one password sync rule):

• Add password sync rule. Allows you to create a rule for synchronizing passwords from an Active Directory domain to another connected system.
• Password sync settings. Allows you to specify how many times you want to retry the password synchronization operation in the event of a failure. Also allows you to type a Windows PowerShell script to generate passwords for the target connected system. For more information, see Appendix B: Using a PowerShell script to transform passwords.
• Delete rule. Deletes the password sync rule on which you click this link.

Configuring diagnostic logging

In the Quick Connect Administration Console, you can configure a number of settings to write the One Identity Quick Connect Sync Engine diagnostic data to a separate log file or to the Windows Event Log.

To configure diagnostic logging

1. In the upper right corner of the Quick Connect Administration Console, select
   Settings | Diagnostic Logging.
2. In the dialog box that opens, use the following options:

3. When you are finished, click OK to apply your settings.

Steps to synchronize identity data

On a very high level, you need to complete the following steps to synchronize identity data between two external data systems:

1. Connect the One Identity Quick Connect Sync Engine to the data systems between which you want to synchronize identity data.

   For more information, see Connections to external data systems.

2. Configure synchronization scope for the connected data systems.

   For more information, see Modifying synchronization scope for a connection.

3. Create a synchronization workflow.

   For more information, see Creating a synchronization workflow.

4. Create one or more steps in the synchronization workflow, and, if necessary, define synchronization rules for these steps.

   For more information, see Managing workflow steps.

5. Run the synchronization workflow you have created.

   For more information, see Running a synchronization workflow.

You can also use the One Identity Quick Connect Sync Engine to automatically synchronize passwords from a specified Active Directory domain to other connected data systems. For more information, see Automated password synchronization.
