System Center

The System Center at /admin/system-center is the central administration hub for managing directory connections, synchronization, and system health. It provides at-a-glance status for all major components and quick access to diagnostic tools.

Accessing the System Center

Navigate to System Center from the main administration menu. The System Center supports section-based navigation via /admin/system-center/{Section}, allowing direct links to specific areas.

Dashboard Overview

The top of the System Center shows key statistics:

Component Health

The System Center monitors the health of all major IdentityCenter components:

Sync Engine

Directory Connections

Each configured connection shows:

• Status -- Connected, Disconnected, or Error
• Last successful connection -- Timestamp of the most recent successful LDAP bind
• Objects synced -- Count of objects from this connection

Policy Engine

• Active policies and their evaluation status
• Last evaluation run and result
• Open violation count by severity

Email Service

• SMTP connectivity status
• Queue depth (pending emails)
• Last successful delivery

Scheduler (Quartz.NET)

• Scheduler status (Started/Stopped)
• Total jobs scheduled
• Currently executing jobs

Quick Diagnostics

The System Center provides one-click diagnostic tools:

Test Database Connection

Verifies that IdentityCenter can reach the SQL Server database. Reports:

• Connection success or failure
• Server version
• Database name and size
• Response time

Test LDAP Connectivity

For each configured directory connection, tests:

• Network reachability to the domain controller
• LDAP bind with stored credentials
• Base DN accessibility
• Response time

Test Email Delivery

Sends a test email to verify SMTP configuration:

• SMTP server connectivity
• Authentication success
• Delivery confirmation

System Information

The System Center displays detailed system information:

Directory Integration Management

The System Center serves as the primary interface for managing directory infrastructure:

Connection Management

• View all configured directory connections
• Test connectivity for individual connections
• Navigate to connection configuration for editing

Sync Project Management

• View all sync projects with their schedules and last run status
• Enable/disable individual sync projects
• Run sync projects on demand
• Navigate to the sync project editor

Auto Sync Project Generation

The System Center integrates with the AutoSyncProjectGenerator service to automatically create sync projects for all 24 Active Directory object classes. This ensures comprehensive coverage without manual configuration.

AI-Assisted Field Mapping

When creating or editing sync projects, the AIFieldMappingService can suggest attribute mappings based on the source schema and target fields.

Monitoring Best Practices

1. Check the System Center daily -- Review connection status and sync health as part of your morning routine
2. Address disconnected sources immediately -- A disconnected directory means stale identity data
3. Monitor object counts -- Unexpected drops may indicate sync filter issues or source problems
4. Review error summaries weekly -- Look for patterns in connection or sync errors
5. Test connectivity after network changes -- Firewall rules, DNS changes, or domain controller moves can break LDAP connectivity
6. Keep credentials current -- Service account password changes must be reflected in connection settings promptly

Next Steps

• Database Maintenance -- Keep the database optimized for performance
• Processing Center -- Monitor background jobs and queue status
• Product Updates -- Check for and apply application updates
• Creating a Connection -- Add new directory connections
• Schedule Manager -- Configure automated schedules
