Hitachi IDMS 6.1: Single User Auto-Discovery


R6.1 adds support for near-real-time auto provisioning:

  • The default model is to list all users from each target system, nightly.
  • Auto-discovery takes time -- over an hour in a large organization.
  • Auto-discovery drives auto-provisioning.
    • Discover the new user in HR before creating accounts elsewhere.
  • A new infrastructure supports limited auto-discovery:
    • An out-of-band process indicates that Hitachi ID Identity Manager should re-read user X on system Y.
    • The discovery process is very fast (single user, single system).
    • Auto-provisioning logic proceeds as normal, but on a small data set.
