IBM Security Identity Governance and Intelligence, Version 5.2

ReST integration scheme

Identity Governance and Intelligence includes a ReST (Representational State Transfer) web service layer that can use HTTP to exchange data with an external target system.

The basic common scheme of integration is shown below:
Figure 1. ReST integration
  • 1 - A request is sent from the ReST layer of Identity Governance and Intelligence to the ReST interface of the target system.
  • 1* - The ReST interface of the target system converts the request to a consistent target system format.
  • 2* - The target system returns the requested data to the ReST interface.
  • 2 - The ReST interface converts the data provided in step 2* to a consistent Identity Governance and Intelligence format.
