Quick Connect for Cloud Services 3.3

Quick Connect includes a core module called Quick Connect Sync Engine and a number of connectors that enable the Sync Engine to access external data systems to read and synchronize the identity information they contain.

In order to synchronize identity data between external data systems, you must connect Quick Connect Sync Engine to these data systems through connectors. A connector enables the Sync Engine to access specific data system to read and synchronize data in that system according to your settings.

Out of the box, the Quick Connect Sync Engine includes a number of built-in connectors. These connectors allow you to access the following data systems right after you install the Sync Engine:

•	Quest ActiveRoles Server

•	Quest One Identity Manager

These built-in connectors do not require any license file.

To connect the Sync Engine to other data systems, you need to obtain and install special Quick Connect packages (also known as bundles), each providing connectors for particular data systems. Each of these Quick Connect packages requires a separate license file you can obtain from Quest Software.
