Pass the SailPoint Identity Security Engineer IdentityNow-Engineer Questions and answers with CertsForce

In this scenario, the Virtual Appliances (VAs) should not reside in the DMZ (B), which is typically used for hosting services that need to be exposed to both internal and external networks, like web servers or email gateways. However, VAs require more direct and secure access to internal resources like Active Directory and databases. The VA needs to reside where it has secure and reliable connectivity to internal resources like Active Directory and database servers, which would be in the internal network.

Key Reference from SailPoint Documentation:

VA Placement Guidance: Virtual Appliances are placed within the internal network, where they can securely connect to Active Directory, databases, and other internal applications for synchronization and provisioning tasks.

No, this example does not accurately describe an IdentityNow data flow. The incorrect part of this flow is that identity profiles are not created within the Virtual Appliance (VA). Identity profiles are created and managed directly within the IdentityNow tenant, not the VA. Additionally, the provisioning process is handled by the IdentityNow tenant through provisioning tasks and API calls to the VA for execution, but the VA does not initiate identity profile creation or manage the full synchronization of those profiles.

Yes, the Active Directory connector can run on the Virtual Appliance (VA). The VA is responsible for hosting connectors that communicate with various target systems, including Active Directory. The connector establishes the communication between IdentityNow and the target Active Directory instance for operations such as provisioning, deprovisioning, and account synchronization. The VA acts as the bridge between IdentityNow's cloud service and the on-premises AD environment, enabling secure communication through the connector.

In an optimized aggregation, if an account has not changed since the last aggregation, the Virtual Appliance (VA) does not need to connect to the target system to retrieve that account’s information again. Optimized aggregation is designed to reduce the load on the system by skipping over accounts that have not been updated, thus preventing unnecessary data retrieval and improving performance.

During optimized aggregation, only accounts or data that have been modified or added since the last aggregation are retrieved. This efficiency is achieved by using timestamps or incremental updates to determine which data needs to be pulled from the target system.

No, the statement "This item is complete" is vague and does not represent any actionable configuration when implementing a JDBC connector. An IdentityNow engineer needs to focus on specific technical configurations like setting up schemas, defining SQL queries, mapping attributes, and ensuring the correct service account permissions. Simply stating "This item is complete" is not a valid step in the implementation process.

Not all customers are restricted to a maximum of one non-production tenant. The number of non-production tenants that a customer can have depends on their specific licensing agreement with SailPoint. Some customers may be allowed multiple non-production tenants for various purposes like testing, development, and staging.

Key Reference from SailPoint Documentation:

Tenant Provisioning Guidelines: SailPoint provides flexibility in the number of non-production tenants based on customer agreements, allowing for multiple environments when needed.

Yes, SailPoint follows a continuous delivery and rolling update model for IdentityNow, which allows for the rapid development and deployment of new features, security updates, and bug fixes. Updates are rolled out automatically to tenants as part of this process, ensuring that customers always have the latest version of the platform. This continuous approach minimizes downtime and allows SailPoint to address security vulnerabilities and improve functionality in a timely manner.

Yes, custom connector configurations in SailPoint IdentityNow can have account correlation settings defined. Account correlation is used to link accounts from different sources to the correct identity in IdentityNow. When configuring a custom connector, it is possible to define how accounts from the connected system are correlated to existing identities based on attributes like usernames or other unique identifiers.

Key Reference from SailPoint Documentation:

Custom Connector Configuration: SailPoint allows for the definition of account correlation settings in custom connectors to ensure proper linking of external accounts to internal identities.

1. sudo timedatectl

Purpose: Display the current system date and time.

2. sudo journalctl -f -u ccsd Of tail /home/sailpoint/ccs.log

Purpose: Review a log file. This command is used to view logs related to the CCS (Cloud Connector Service) for troubleshooting or analysis.

3. ldapsearch -x -D

Purpose: Search an Active Directory domain controller. This command queries an LDAP directory to retrieve information about users, groups, etc.

4. nc -vz -w 5 192.168.0.1 80

Purpose: Test a port on a remote system. This command is using "netcat" to test whether port 80 on the specified IP address is open and responding.

Yes, the search syntax @accounts( source.name:"AD" AND state:"disabled" ) is correct for finding identities with disabled AD accounts. In this case, the query filters accounts based on the state being "disabled," which is valid and effective for identifying disabled accounts.

Key Reference from SailPoint Documentation:

Search by Account State: Using state:"disabled" is an accurate way to search for disabled accounts in SailPoint IdentityNow.
