GroupID Synchronize provides significant milestone wins in Identity Management projects by delivering meta-directory benefits from existing investments in Microsoft Active Directory. GroupID Synchronize turns Active Directory into an authoritative repository for identity information by synchronizing databases and identity stores with Active Directory.
 Accurate Data in Active Directory
GroupID Synchronize allows you to maintain accurate data in Microsoft Active Directory by provisioning, de-provisioning and synchronizing changes from any other data source. GroupID Synchronize provides significant milestone wins in Identity Management projects by delivering meta-directory benefits from existing investments in Active Directory. GroupID Synchronize turns Active Directory into an authoritative repository for identity information by synchronizing databases and identity stores with Active Directory. By utilizing transforms (scripting) in the product, Synchronize provides the capability for provisioning and de-provisioning, and can map business processes to automation. Synchronize is simple to use and can be up and running within hours.
How Does Group ID Synchronize Do It?
GroupID Synchronize is a bi-directional synchronization engine. Utilizing a very intuitive GUI to build scripts, you can create jobs to provision, de-provision or Synchronize multiple data sources. Picture Active Directory being your hub and becoming the accurate source for all data. Synchronize directly connects two data sources through a job. It does not use or require a staging area or meta directory. A job defines the connection information needed to access each data source, how the data is related and how the data should flow.
For example, let's say you have employee information stored in an Oracle table and you want to update users in Active Directory with this information. You would start by launching Synchronize and creating a new job. The job wizard will walk you through the process. You first provide the connection information to Oracle and Active Directory (the name of the server, the table, and credentials to use, etc.). Synchronize will then examine the data sources and provide you with a list of attributes available in Oracle and Active Directory. Select the attributes in Active Directory that you would like to populate from Oracle.
Next the wizard will ask how to find related records. Typically there are one or more columns in your source (the Oracle table in this case) that match one more attributes in Active Directory. This might be an employee identification number, user ID or just by their name. Once you have the relationship defined via the key fields it is time to connect the columns in the Oracle table or view to attributes in Active Directory. You can directly connect the attributes or you can use transformations (synchronize scripts) to calculate the value of an attribute.
Once the wizard is complete you can run a Preview to see what would happen. During the preview Synchronize loads the records from the Oracle table and looks for matching records in Active Directory. It calculates what would change without actually changing anything in Active Directory. Once it is complete you can review what would change and if everything looks good you can choose Run to actually make the changes. If the results are not what you expected you can go back into the wizard and reconfigure the job until you get the results you want. With the ability to use transforms to create new fields (usernames for example) and match all other fields, Synchronize is the easiest and most powerful tool to ensure that all of your records in Active Directory are always accurate.
