Hi,

We are creating a AzureAD connection and we have elected  CREATE_NEW_ENDPOINTS = NO. Still the Securitysystem and Endpoints are getting created. Is this expected even when CREATE_NEW_ENDPOINTS = No?

Br,

Hi Chandan,

The CREATE_NEW_ENDPOINTS parameter on the AzureAD connector when set to 'Yes' will create new endpoints based on Applications available on AzureAD. 

The default Endpoint and Security system with the same name as the 'Connection' would always be created irrespective of whether this parameter is 'Yes' or 'No' once you 'Save and Test' connection for the first time.

For example, You created an AzureAD connection called AzureChandan. When you hit 'Save and Test Connection' and if the connection is successful, a SS and Endpoint with the same name 'AzureChandan' would get created irrespective of whether the 'CREATE_NEW_ENDPOINTS' is set as 'Yes' or not.

Now, if its set as 'Yes' and you have a couple of applications 'Box' and 'ABC' registered under Enterprise applications in Azure AD, Those apps will also get created as separate endpoints in Saviynt.
