Explore and Correlate Functionality

The Explore and Correlate features simplify endpoint management by discovering and synchronizing changes in managed sytems.

The Explore feature finds objects, including accounts, in endpoints, and stores references to them in the Provisioning Directory. You can use the Explore feature to detect any new objects to be managed. For example, if you provision accounts in an LDAP directory and new organizations are added in that directory, you can use the Explore feature to introduce those new organizations for use in account templates.

The Correlate feature associates an account in a managed endpoint with a global user in the Provisioning Directory. When a change is made to the account through the endpoint, the Correlate feature can synchronize those changes with the global user account.

Note: For more information about the Explore and Correlate functionality, see the Administration Guide.
