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.

Hi @samgupta , team,

We have the API link to the API to onboard a newly commissioned OS/DB server - Create sources within multi-host integration .

But we do not have similar API link to the API to offboard an existing decommissioned OS/DB server even though the option is available in ISC UI (Multi Host Source - Source List - select a source - Delete Source) which seems to make a call to ../beta/multihosts/multihostsourceid/sources/bulk-delete.

Can we get API documentation for that bulk delete API?

We are unable to use multi host just because bulk upload csv is not allowed as an option for us from maintenance end (like wrong entries can mess a lot) and Delete source by id API throws error when tried to delete a source within multi-host. So need some API like Delete Source within Multi-Host Integration.

Also, please share if there is any way to override the default grouping done by Aggregation Groups feature in there to cater to requirements like all OS/DB of a particular group (say used by an app) follow a particular Aggregation Group schedule.
