Correlation Rule

Overview

This rule associates or correlates an account to an identity, based on complex logic. The rule runs before configured account correlation including the default account correlation.

Execution

• Cloud Execution - This rule executes in the Identity Security Cloud cloud, and it has read-only access to Identity Security Cloud data models, but it does not have access to on-premise sources or connectors.
• Logging - Logging statements are currently only visible to SailPoint personnel.

Input

Argument	Type	Purpose
log	org.apache.log4j.Logger	Logger to log statements. Note: This executes in the cloud, and logging is currently not exposed to anyone other than SailPoint.
idn	sailpoint.server.IdnRuleUtil	Provides a read-only starting point for using the SailPoint API. From this passed reference, the rule can interrogate the Identity Security Cloud data model including identities or account information via helper methods as described in IdnRuleUtil.
account	sailpoint.object.ResourceObject	Read-only representation of account data that has been aggregated. Use this as a basis to determine correlation linkages with a specific identity.
application	sailpoint.object.Application	Read-only reference to application object that represents the source to which account correlation is being done.

Output

Argument	Type	Purpose
returnMap	java.util.Map	Map object containing a reference to the identity attributes to correlate to. These should contain both identityAttributeName and identityAttributeValue as keys.
