Hi all,
We have a requirement for a source API to POST user data to Saviynt. Although the "usual" way would be to connect to the source and GET data via an API due to clients security reasons we can't access the user data directly. The idea is for us to allow the customer to POST data (create/update user) through Saviynt API. We were wondering if anybody has similar experience, any best practice advice to follow, are there any performance issues that we might expect, a way to limit the number of requests to Saviynt API (if needed), how frequent can Saviynt API be called etc..?
Another option that is available is to get the file with user data from an SFTP server (file would be encrypted, so we would have to decrypt it not sure if that's possible or how). We've looked into the SFTP integration documentation available here (to see what are available options on the connection) and even tried to create the connection type but after enabling the Connector Microservices to view the Enhanced Connector Framework there was an error (and Get Config From Service setting is not visible as it should be):
Same as with Saviynt API the question for SFTP is if anyone has similar experience (especially regarding file decryption), do we need Saviynt connect for this connection type, any best practice advice to follow, limitations (file type and size for download are stated in the documentation but maybe some other issues someone came across), etc..?
And finally what are your opinions from experience between these two options, which would be a better way to go?
Hi @nimitdave,
We need to support create and update user requests, I'm not sure what the difference is between CreateUserRequest and CreateUser endpoint? I've tried testing CreateUserRequest through Postman but now I'm stuck on this error:
You've mentioned "attach a auto approval flow", which parameter is that, as I didn't find it mentioned in CreateUserRequest documentation.
Also does this way presume that API is invoked for each user request (create or update)? Is there any way to bulk create and update users via Saviynt API, as I've said before we will not have any control over the data coming in, we can only specify the format in which we can receive data (and we have only two options, xml or json). And I'll ask again is there any best practice advice to follow (this is all I found), are there any performance issues that we might expect, a way to limit the number of requests to Saviynt API (if needed), how frequent can Saviynt API be called etc..?
Also you didn't mention the SFTP connector, does that mean that it's not supposed to be used this way?
Hi,
Any advice regarding SFTP integration? Is this possible with an encrypted json or xml file and what can we do about the errors I've mention in my first post?
