16.5 Integrator Manager
Integrators are plugins that can be used in Sentinel 6.1 to extend the features and functionality of
Sentinel remediation actions. The Sentinel system is loaded with several Integrators by default, but
you can download updates and additional Integrators from the Sentinel content download pages at
http://support.novell.com/products/sentinel/secure/sentinel61.html (http://support.novell.com/
products/sentinel/secure/sentinel61.html)
.
Integrators allow Sentinel to connect to other external systems, for example, an LDAP server, SMTP
server, or SOAP server. JavaScript actions can use Integrators to interact with other systems. For
example, you can set the attribute in Novell eDirectory (an LDAP server) to enable or disable a user,
edit details and so on. You could also start an Identity Manager workflow, such as a provisioning
request, using SOAP calls.
The general process for using an Integrator to perform remediation actions includes the following
steps:
To use an Integrator to perform remediation actions:
1 Determine the best type of Integrator to access the external system with which you want to
interact.
2 Import and configure the appropriate Integrator to connect to the external system.
3
Write a JavaScript action to be executed through the Integrator. This script makes calls to
methods specific to the integrator in order to execute actions on the external system.
4 Import and configure the JavaScript action using the Action Manager.
