SyncManager reads a list of identity changes from an Identity Service Bus (ISB) and makes this information available to third-party applications in a format they can understand.

SyncManager is a Java web application and web service that can be used to pass identity data from an ISB to multiple client applications in a variety of formats. Synchronisation is one-way, i.e. data can only be pulled from the ISB and sent to consuming applications, but client session and error messages are logged within SyncManager. This allows administrators to view the synchronisation status of multiple clients, and be automatically alerted by email of any problems.

Installation

Instructions on how to install the binary distribution of the application to Apache Tomcat 5.5. are available here.

Background documentation

An overview of the identity synchronisation process and the role SyncManager plays is described in this PDF document.

To ensure the synchronisation process can scale to many thousands of identities SyncManager controls the flow of data that gets sent to sync clients.
