CSV Directory

Cymmetri provides a connector to remotely connect to a data source using SFTP and fetch flat-files to manage application user assignment data in Cymmetri. database provisioning involves setting up and managing database access for provisioning users from the Database Management System into Cymmetri.

Configuration

To configure the CSV Directory with Cymmetri we need to configure the CSV Directory application. Please follow the steps provided below.

First we need to create one CSV file locally then we need to place this file in the server.

For example if we connected to the server 10.0.0.99 then we need to place the csv file on that server. For example, we can transfer the file through the WinSCP application as well.

Click on the CSV Directory application from Cymmetri application catalogue

1. After Getting application from Cymmetri master activate provisioning of selected application i.e. CSV Directory.

2. After successfully activating provisioning, setup server configuration.

Note: Basic configuration is already provided in Cymmetri master application. If the connector server is configured externally then configure server config as per requirement.

3. Successfully configuring server configuration, next step is to configure User Configuration. This is the most important step to connect and perform operations with CSV Directory.

There are some fields which are compulsory
