Visualizing Attribute Flows Between LDAP, IDM, and Applications
Understanding how identity attributes flow through different systems is essential for maintaining data integrity, streamlining audits, and fostering collaboration among teams. In this post, we explore how to visualize attribute mappings from LDAP directories to ForgeRock IDM and downstream applications using tools like Graphviz and Mermaid. These visualizations provide clarity and transparency for architects, auditors, and developers alike. Why Attribute Mapping Visualization Matters In complex identity environments, user attributes often originate in an LDAP directory, are transformed or enriched within ForgeRock IDM, and are then propagated to downstream applications. When mappings become convoluted or undocumented, teams can struggle with: ...
