This blog provides a step-by-step guide to creating and assigning permissions to a service account in Active Directory, with a focus on integrating RSA Governance & Lifecycle (RSA G&L). It outlines the process to ensure the service account has the necessary permissions to securely read and write data into AD.

In this blog, we will explore the process of attribute synchronization using RSA Governance & Lifecycle (RSA G&L), focusing on how it ensures consistency between user identity data and account data across various downstream systems. By automating the synchronization of attributes such as roles, email addresses, and group memberships, RSA G&L simplifies identity management, reduces errors, and ensures that all connected systems maintain accurate and up-to-date information.

In this blog, we'll explore the process of adding support for additional database drivers in Governance and Lifecycle (G&L) version 8.0 and above. By default, G&L is shipped only with drivers for Oracle and Microsoft SQL databases.

In this blog post, I will guide you through the effective utilization of data processors during account collections to address common use cases. If you are not familiar with data processors, I recommend reading the Data Processors Basics before proceeding, as it will provide a foundational understanding of the concepts discussed in this blog.

Data processors have been integral in RSA Governance and Lifecycle (G&L) systems, playing a crucial role in manipulating data throughout different stages of collections, unification or Separation of Duties (SoD) processing. Traditionally, the integration of custom logic into these data processors required direct system access to the AVDB database and the use of tools such as SQL Developer. However, with the evolution of G&L products, there has been a paradigm shift in the approach to implementing custom logic within data processors.

In this blog post, we'll explore the historical context of data processors and examine contemporary solutions that not only streamline the customization process but also eliminate the necessity for direct database access. This evolution promises a more accessible and agile approach for developers working with G&L systems.

In recent blog posts, we've explored numerous integrations between RSA G&L and various SaaS applications, primarily relying on the Generic REST collectors. Despite their flexibility, navigating through the intricate components of these collectors can be overwhelming. This article aims to simplify the process by focusing on the authentication aspect, providing an overview of the supported authentication methods and offering common examples to clarify the integration process.

As of v8.0, RSA G&L generic REST collector supports Basic, Token and OAuth2 authentication methods. Rest of the article will cover the details of each configuration with examples.
