Download and install
This addon is located in the Connectors section and its name is PeopleSoft Connector.

Agent configuration
This connector could manage only User objects.
- This connector is implemented as "Authoritative Identity Source", so Soffid could charge identities and synchronize them to the target database.
- PeopleSoft Connector takes Name, Surnames and OU from new users in tables of PeopleSoft and creates on Soffid. If a OU doesn't exist it will be created too.
In the field "Authoritative identity source" of the "Basics" tab, there three options:
- "Nothing"
- Privacy data query
- Solicitud de permisos
Basics
Generic parameters
After the installation of the addon, you may create and configure agent instances.

Operational
Monitoring
After the agent configuration you could check in the monitoring page if the service is running in the Synchronization Server, please go to "Start Menu > Monitoring and reporting > System monitoring".
Tasks
Authoritative
If you are checked "Authorized identity source", an automatic task to load identities from the managed system to Soffid is available, please go to "Start Menu > Processes and Tasks > Manage automatic tasks", and you will something like "Import authoritative data from <AGENT_NAME>".
Reconcile
If your are configured the "Attribute Mapping" tab with some of our objects: "user, account, role, group or grant", an automatic task to synchronize these objects from the managed system to Soffid is available, please go to "Start Menu > Processes and Tasks > Manage automatic tasks", and you will something like "Reconcile all accounts from <AGENT_NAME>".
Synchronization
About the synchronization of the objects, there are two possible options:
- If you are checked the generic attribute "Read Only" in the "Basics" tab, only the changes in the managed systems will be updated in Soffid. We recommend this options until the global configuration of Soffid will be tested.
- If you are not checked the generic attribute "Read Only" in the "Basics" tab, all the changes in Soffid or the managed system will be updated in the other. Note that this synchronization must be configured in the "Attribute mapping" tab correctly.
