Component

Description

Open Text Directory Services (OTDS)

OpenText Core Identity Intelligence integrates with OTDS for user authentication. When a user logs in to access the portal, the user gets authenticated using OTDS.

Advanced Authentication

The identity governance users are authenticated through Advanced Authentication and redirected to Identity Governance and Administration portal.

Identity Governance and Administration

  • Governance Applications and OLTP database

The data is collected from the sources, such as Identity Manager, on-prem applications, and on-prem directories, through cloud bridge into governance applications and is stored in the Identity Governance Administration database.

  • Replica database

A replica is created and maintained from the governance source database. The OpenText Core Identity Intelligence uses this replica to fetch the Identity Governance data.

  • User Activity Data

The identity governance user activity data that is stored in the S3 bucket is collected and processed using data engineering methods. The processed data gets stored in to the Analytics Repository schema specific to user activity data. The OpenText Core Identity Intelligence reporting displays this data through the reports based on the selected criteria.

Identity and Access Management

  • Identity and Acess Management (IAM) Applications

  • OpenText Identity Governance and Administration, OpenText Advanced Authentication, OpenText Password Management, and other OpenText Identity and Access Management suite of applications generate user activity data, which gets stored in the S3 bucket.

    NOTE:The user activity data gets stored in the customer specific S3 bucket or in the shared S3 bucket based on product deployment and configuration.

  • User Activity Data and S3 Buckets

  • The user activity data that is stored in the S3 bucket is collected and processed using data engineering methods. The processed data gets stored in to the Analytics Repository schema.

OpenText Core Identity Intelligence

  • Analytics Repository is displayed as analytics_database in the reports portal.

  • The data from replica database is processed and stored in the Analytics Repository database. Reporting Service dashboards fetch this processed data and represent this data using the specific use case widgets.

    NOTE:The data collection from the replica database to the Analytics Repository is scheduled to occur every 24 hours.

  • The OpenText Core Identity Intelligence reports use the read replica to fetch data.

  • The OpenText Identity Intelligence reporting service displays the processed user activity data through the available reports.
