Identity synchronization: which is the best conflicts resolving model?
In every identity management solution there is one identity management system and one or more managed systems, also known as target or resource systems.
Identity synchronization is the task of synchronize identity data across a wide range of heterogeneous applications, directories, databases, and other data stores that are connected to the identity management system in order to capitalize its provisioning capabilities and, inherently, all the benefit that the identity management systems brings.
So, we can say that the main duties of identity synchronization is to keep synchronized and aligned identity data stored across different systems.
