SailPoint Source

The SailPoint Source provides a secure endpoint to receive Events and User Inventory data from the IdentityNow V3 API. It securely stores the required authentication, scheduling, and state tracking information.

note

This source is not available in the Fed deployment.

Setup

Vendor configuration

You need a SailPoint Admin account generated Client ID and Client Secret Key as well as the customer-specific organization name, such as {organization}.identitynow.com.

To generate a personal access token from the IdentityNow UI, perform the following steps after logging into your IdentityNow instance:

1. Select Preferences from the dropdown menu under your username, then Personal Access Tokens on the left. You can also go straight to the page using this URL, replacing {tenant} with your IdentityNow tenant: https://{tenant}.identitynow.com/ui/d/user-preferences/personal-access-tokens
2. Click New Token and enter a meaningful description to help differentiate the token from others.
   note

   The New Token button will be disabled when you’ve reached the limit of 10 personal access tokens per user. To avoid reaching this limit, we recommend you delete any tokens that are no longer needed.

3. Click Create Token to generate and view the two components that comprise the token: the Secret and the Client ID.
   info

   After you create the token, the value of the Client ID will be visible in the Personal Access Tokens list, but the corresponding Secret will not be visible after you close the window. You will need to store the Secret somewhere secure.

4. Copy both values somewhere that will be secure and accessible to you when you need to use the token.

Source configuration

When you create a SailPoint Source, you add it to a Hosted Collector. Before creating the Source, identify the Hosted Collector you want to use or create a new Hosted Collector. For instructions, see Create a Hosted Collector.

To configure a Duo Source:

1. In Sumo Logic, select Manage Data > Collection > Collection. 
2. On the Collectors page, click Add Source next to a Hosted Collector.
3. Search for and select SailPoint.
4. Enter a Name for the Source. The description is optional.
5. (Optional) For Source Category, enter any string to tag the output collected from the Source. Category metadata is stored in a searchable field called _sourceCategory.
6. Forward to SIEM. Check the checkbox to forward your data to Cloud SIEM.
7. (Optional) Fields. Click the +Add Field link to define the fields you want to associate, each field needs a name (key) and value.
   •  A green circle with a check mark is shown when the field exists in the Fields table schema.
   •  An orange triangle with an exclamation point is shown when the field doesn't exist in the Fields table schema. In this case, an option to automatically add the nonexistent fields to the Fields table schema is provided. If a field is sent to Sumo that does not exist in the Fields schema it is ignored, known as dropped.
8. Tenant Name. Provide your SailPoint customer-specific organization name, such as {organization}.identitynow.com.
9. Client ID and Client Secret. Enter the ID and Secret you got from creating your SailPoint access token in the Vendor configuration section above.
10. Supported APIs to collect. Select one or more of the available APIs, Events and Users.
11. Processing Rules. Configure any desired filters, such as allowlist, denylist, hash, or mask, as described in Create a Processing Rule.
12. When you are finished configuring the Source, click Submit.

JSON schema

Sources can be configured using UTF-8 encoded JSON files with the Collector Management API. See Use JSON to Configure Sources for details. 

Parameter	Type	Value	Required	Description
schemaRef	JSON Object	{"type":"SailPoint"}	Yes	Define the specific schema type.
sourceType	String	"Universal"	Yes	Type of source.
config	JSON Object	Configuration object	Yes	Source type specific values.

Configuration Object

name	String	Yes	null	Type a desired name of the source. The name must be unique per Collector. This value is assigned to the metadata field _source.	"mySource"
description	String	No	null	Type a description of the source.	"Testing source"
category	String	No	null	Type a category of the source. This value is assigned to the metadata field _sourceCategory. See best practices for details.	"mySource/test"
fields	JSON Object	No	null	JSON map of key-value fields (metadata) to apply to the Collector or Source. Use the boolean field _siemForward to enable forwarding to SIEM.	{"_siemForward": false, "fieldA": "valueA"}
org_name	String	Yes	null	Provide your SailPoint customer-specific organization name, such as {organization}.identitynow.com.
client_id	String	Yes	null	Provide the SailPoint client ID you want to use to authenticate collection requests.
