1.2 Collector and Fulfiller Templates

OpenText Identity Governance provides templates that enable you to easily integrate with LDAP systems, service desk systems, protocols, and specific applications, to collect data and fulfill change requests. The collectors enable you to collect identities, applications, accounts, and permissions to provide a view of all your enterprise data in the OpenText Identity Governance catalog. OpenText Identity Governance collects the attributes configured in the collector templates and those are mapped to OpenText Identity Governance attributes. The fulfillment targets (fulfillers) enable you to fulfill change requests generated from reviews, requests, and catalog curation. The fulfiller templates also include default mappings. You can edit the provided templates and add attributes to the template. The templates also include transformation scripts that you can edit as needed.

For basic template layout overview, change event processing, and configuration procedures common to multiple collectors and fulfillment targets, refer to the following sections and chapters of the OpenText Identity Governance as a Service User and Administration Guide::

Many of these templates are easy to use with tooltips and preconfigured default values. A few templates for complex systems might need additional guidance because of the variations in required minimum rights, authentication methods, identity categorizations, parent-child relationships, and other such unique features of the connected systems. This guide provides the additional guidance required to configure collectors and fulfillment targets successfully.
