IDM module dependencies

Identity Synchronization module

This module can serve as the foundation for provisioning and identity data reconciliation. Synchronization capabilities are available as a service and hrough REST APIs to be used directly by external applications. Activities occurring in the system can be configured to log and audit events for reporting purposes.

Required module: Identity Lifecycle and Relationship.

Feature Description Documentation

Discovery and synchronization

Synchronization of identity data across managed data stores.

Reconciliation

Alignment between accounts across managed data stores.

Password synchronization

Near real-time password synchronization across managed data stores.

Directory Services and Active Directory plugins

Native password synchronization plugins for ForgeRock Directory Services and Microsoft Active Directory.

Delegated administration

Grant role-based, limited access to perform fine-grained administrative tasks on managed objects.

All connectors

Extensible interoperability for identity, compliance, and risk management across a variety of specific applications and services.

Self-Service module

This module can be used to allow end users to manage their own passwords and profiles securely according to predefined policies.

Required modules:

  • Full capabilities: Identity Lifecycle and Relationship.

  • Basic capabilities: Intelligent Access. See User self-service for information about self-service capabilities in AM.

Feature Description Documentation

End-user self-service UI that lets users create their own accounts with customizable criteria.

Password reset

End-user self-service UI for changing and resetting passwords based on predefined policies and security questions.

Knowledge-based authentication

Verification for user identities based on predefined and end user-created security questions.

Forgotten username

Mechanisms to allow users to recover their usernames with predefined policies.

Progressive profile completion

Short forms used to simplify registration and incrementally collect profile data over time.

Profile and privacy management dashboard

Dashboard for managing personal user information.

Consent and preference management

Configurable user preferences.

Terms and conditions (or terms of service) versioning

Manage multiple terms and conditions.

Workflow module

This module can be used to visually organize identity synchronization, reconciliation, and provisioning into repeatable processes with logging and auditing for reporting purposes.

Required modules: Self-Service, Identity Lifecycle and Relationship.

Feature Description Documentation

BPMN 2.0 support

Standards-based Business Process Model and Notation 2.0 support.

Flowable process engine

Lightweight workflow and business process management platform.

Workflow-driven provisioning

Define provisioning workflows for self-service, sunrise and sunset processes, approvals, escalations, and maintenance.

Social Identity module

With this module, you can allow users to register and authenticate with specified standards-compliant social identity providers. These users can also link multiple social identity providers to the same account, thus establishing a single consumer identity.

With the attributes collected from each user profile, you can configure the module to authorize access to applications and resources, including lead generation tools.

Required modules: Self-Service, Identity Lifecycle and Relationship.

Feature Description Documentation

Registration

User registration with social identity accounts.

Authentication

Social login for identity management.

Account linking

Users can select specific social identity providers for logins.

Attribute scope management

Administrators can include any or all scopes available, by social identity provider.

Identity Lifecycle and Relationship module

This module can help you to provision user identities into IDM, and includes the capability to manage roles, relationships between identities, and entitlements.

Required modules: none.

Feature Description Documentation

Inbound provisioning engine

Provisioning engine to import data from an external resource into IDM.

Data modeling

Ability to map IDM objects to tables in a JDBC database or to organizational units in a DS repository.

Identity lifecycle management

An extensible object model that enables you to manage the complete lifecycle of identity objects.

Identity relationship lifecycle management

Ability to create and track relationship references between objects.

Role lifecycle management

Provisioning roles to control how objects are exported to external systems and authorization roles to control authorization within IDM.
