Excerpt

When Smart ID Identity Manager is running in the cloud it does not have access to internal customer systems, like, for example, LDAP. It can not be guaranteed that a service in the customer's network can be accessed. To get access to customer systems, the Smart ID Agent (DataSyncProxy) is

...

used.

The Smart ID Agent (DataSyncProxy) is a small Spring Boot application. It is placed and runs on a machine in the customers network environment. The machine on which

...

the Smart ID Agent (DataSyncProxy) runs must have access to internal systems like LDAP.

...

The Smart ID Agent (DataSyncProxy) connects

...

with Identity Manager (in the cloud) with a normal http connection. The connection is held as long as the proxy is running. While the connection is held,

...

 Identity Manager (in the cloud) is able to send Server-Sent Events (SSE) to the Smart ID Agent (DataSyncProxy).

...

 The Smart ID Agent (DataSyncProxy) allows accessing a subsystem (search and export) in the same way as with any data source in a non-cloud installation of

...

Identity Manager.

The picture illustrates how

...

the Smart ID Agent (DataSyncProxy) is placed in the customer's network.

  • Customer 1 and Customer 2 symbolizes networks at two different customers that connect to

...

  • the Identity Manager cloud service via the gateway.

  • When the user performs a search in

...

  • Identity Manager, the Smart ID Agent (DataSyncProxy) provides a data connection to the user’s subsystem and transfers the search result data to

...

  • Identity Manager. Subsystems could be the LDAP, an external JDBC database, a SCIM data source, etc.

...

  • The Smart ID Agent (DataSyncProxy) also allows the export of data from

...

  • Identity Manager to the user’s subsystem.

Connect the DataSyncProxy to PRIME

In PRIME's system.properties you can configure the following values. This has to be done for PRIME Explorer (for executing searches, exporting data, ...) and for PRIME Designer (for testing connection, getting the scim resource types and getting the attribute lists).

Code Block
titleExample: Configure DataSyncProxy in system.properties
# turn DataSyncProxy on/off
dataSyncProxy.enabled=true
dataSync.responsePollingIntervalInMs=200
dataSync.responsePollingTimeoutInMs=30000
dataSync.proxyConnectionTimeoutInMs=3600000
 
# when the connection timeout above occurs, spring logs a message on error level. To disable this enter: (Note: if you want to be sure not to miss any other logs do not turn this on)
dataSync.suppressSpringMvcExceptionsWhileTimeout=true

In the custom.properties of the DataSyncProxy you can configure the following values:
