Strivacity Directory Connector
The Strivacity Directory Connector connects Strivacity with customer identity data stored in customer-controlled environments. It runs within the customer network and communicates with Strivacity without requiring the source directory or database to be exposed to the internet.
The Directory Connector supports LDAP directories and relational databases through separate operating modes.
Capabilities
Using the Directory Connector, you can:
- Connect Strivacity with identity data stored in LDAP directories or relational databases.
- Keep source systems within the customer-controlled network while the connector communicates with Strivacity.
- Configure connector settings independently for each identity store.
- Deploy multiple connector instances for redundancy.
Connector modes
The Directory Connector supports two operating modes.
LDAP Connector
The LDAP Connector connects Strivacity to an LDAP directory for on-demand account lookup and authentication. It can retrieve customer information from the remote directory, validate credentials, and synchronize supported account information with Strivacity.
For configuration instructions, see LDAP Connector.
JDBC Connector
The JDBC Connector synchronizes customer identities from relational databases into Strivacity. It retrieves data by executing SQL queries configured through an inbound connection and synchronizes identities on a scheduled basis.
For configuration instructions, see JDBC Connector.
On-premises component
The Directory Connector is containerized for deployment in Kubernetes, Docker, or similar environments. Deploy the connector in an environment that can communicate with the source directory or database and with Strivacity.
If you require the Directory Connector container image, contact Customer Support.
The Directory Connector requires local configuration to communicate with Strivacity and the source system. The configuration required depends on the selected connector mode.
Connector credentials
Each identity store provides a Client ID and Client secret for the Directory Connector.
To find these credentials:
- In the Admin Console, go to Identities → Identity stores.
- Select an identity store.
- On the Configuration tab, locate Directory Connector settings.
- Copy the Client ID and Client secret.
Connector settings are defined per identity store and aren't shared between identity stores. When multiple connector instances are deployed for the same identity store, they use the same identity store credentials.
