On-Premises Environment

When working in an on-premises environment, Identity Manager needs a specific architecture.

Overview​

Identity Manager recommends the following architecture:

On-Premises Recommended Architecture

Most situations do not need Identity Manager so much that they need a fail-over system, i.e. installing several Identity Manager instances in order to prevent breakdowns. In most situations, a single Identity Manager instance is enough.

Server​

The server should be stateless, i.e. it should store only temporary files.

Agent(s)​

One or several additional agents can be needed only when using a sensitive network, for example an administration network separated from the main network.

Database​

The database is a critical item, and thus should be set up with a mirror. The database mirror can have lower CPU and RAM and be on a different location.

Identity Manager recommends using an incremental backup.
