Synchronization

Configure synchronization between PingIDM and other resources.

Starting with IDM 8.1, the legacy admin UI is deprecated and is no longer bundled with IDM. New deployments should use the Platform admin UI, which is the replacement for the legacy admin UI.

Both UIs are available as separate downloads from the Backstage download site:

To install the Platform admin UI, follow the steps in Install the Platform admin UI for standalone IDM.
To continue using the legacy admin UI, follow the steps in Install the legacy admin UI.

Synchronizing identity data between resources is one of the core services of PingIDM (IDM). In this guide, you will learn about the different types of synchronization, and how to configure the flexible synchronization mechanism. This guide is written for systems integrators building solutions based on PingIDM services.
