Quest One Quick Connect for SAP Solutions

Identity & Access Synchronization for the Enterprise

Quest One Quick Connect for SAP Solutions connects identities with Quest One (ActiveRoles Server, Quest One Identity Manager or Password Manager), Active Directory-based or enterprise solutions to the SAP NetWeaver HR Module, so that you can provision systems based on your company's HR data and the SAP base platform. Quest One Quick Connect for SAP Solutions enables the provisioning of SAP accounts and the ability to assign SAP roles that manage access to various SAP applications.

Looking for single sign-on for SAP? The Quest One Identity Solution offers SAP-certified single sign-on (SSO) solutions for SAPgui as well as SAP NetWeaver Portal. Both solutions provide Active Directory-based SSO that perfectly complements the provisioning capabilities of Quest One Quick Connect.

Features

  • IdentitySync - Synchronizes identities (typically user accounts) to other systems, enabling an Active Directory user to logon to non-Active Directory applications or data sources. Quick Connect uses a set of wizards to configure synchronization profiles. Unlike other synchronization solutions, Quick Connect requires no programming.
  • PasswordSync - Sets initial passwords during provisioning. Password changes in Active Directory are synchronized with connected systems, enabling universal password resets through integration with Quest Password Manager.
  • AutoMapping - Automatically reconciles associated objects (users, groups, etc.) between source and target systems, including auto-creation where no object exists, rule correlation and manual mapping for exceptions.
  • ErrorControl - Reduces the impact of synchronization errors by providing thresholds and stop conditions that determine if and when synchronization should halt due to errors.
  • Codeless Transformation - Converts object types during synchronization so that the source and target objects can be different object types.
  • GroupSync - Synchronizes authorization objects (typically groups) between directories in AD, integrated applications or data sources. Extends your enterprise-wide investment in centralized group management.

Quick Connect supports many different types of data synchronization workflows to and from different platforms and based on different conditions (data types, time of day, etc.). In this example, a CSV file to ActiveRoles Server provisioning workflow (typical of a HR Sync to ARS) is created.

Quick Connect now supports a full data sync, or a delta data sync, for either the source or the destination target. Important for distributed data set integration, the platform conforms to your requirements – even supporting the ability to run scripts before and/or after the sync job is complete (to send an email, move a file, do a trigger or support whatever your requirements are).

Out of the box, Quick Connect provides full password synchronization technology for most platforms (uni- and bi-directional dependent upon target endpoint). When you are interfacing to a supported platform, you will see that you have flexibility as to how to synchronize the passwords, where to send them and how to manage/manipulate them to fit other platforms' password strength requirements.
