New Capability: MultiHost for Linux & Windows Local Servers with new features for bulk configuration

What is the Problem?

Identity Security Cloud offers a one-to-one mapping between a source and an application, which has proven to be a bottleneck for customers managing extensive infrastructure.

Manual integration of numerous components and their corresponding configurations became redundant and time-consuming. As a result, many customers chose not to integrate their application servers with Identity Security Cloud, leaving their infrastructure susceptible to security threats and compliance issues.

What is the Solution?

The Multi-Host solution is built as a wrapper around the existing connectors. It overcomes such limitations by enabling bulk integration of infrastructure components and server configurations all from a centralized user interface. The solution is now available for Linux & Windows Local Server (released for MS SQL & Oracle Database in 2024).

The centralized UI assists with source-level configurations and maintenance. It streamlines the customer onboarding experience and facilitates mass integration of servers, including rapid source creation and configuration.

Key Features

  • Automated Bulk Server Integration:
    • Multi-Host allows for the effortless import of server metadata via template-based .csv files and creates the respective sources in ISC. This eliminates the need for manual setup and ensures efficiency and accuracy.
  • Centralized Integration
    • Similar components are integrated into one group, providing customers with a comprehensive view of their integrated components and respective server details.
  • Support for Linux Server, Windows Local, MS SQL Server & Oracle DB Connector Use Cases
    • MultiHost seamlessly supports all the use cases of the connectors it’s built upon, including MS SQL Server and Oracle Database
  • Certification, Audits & Reporting
    • User accounts, entitlements, and groups are represented in a way aligned with the sources created by the underlying connector, ensuring compliance and security.
  • Change Management
    • Multi-Host dynamically responds to changes in infrastructure components, allowing for the easy addition of servers through CSV imports.
  • Aggregation Groups
    • An innovative feature that intelligently identifies and distributes servers added to a Multi-Host group into different ‘Account and Entitlement Aggregation Groups’ to prevent VA overload, and enable easy server aggregation scheduling while ensuring optimal performance.

New Enhancements: Applicable to all connectors released with MultiHost

  • Support for Credential Provider
  • Expandable Aggregation & MultiHost group capacity (via V3 APIs)
  • Centralized Account Schema
  • Support for ‘Create Account’ template at MultiHost group level
  • Enhanced UI for better organization and search across various MH Groups created in ISC

Availability: Release Information & Documentation:

Now available for Linux, Windows Local, MS SQL Server and Oracle DB, MultiHost is set to transform how organizations manage their infrastructure integration with ISC.

FYI, setting up a multi-host for Windows Local in SailPoint and going to File-Upload, links the Oracle DB multi-host documentation for an example CSV template, not the Windows Local Multi-Host documentation.
