Term Definitions
- System of Record - Authoritative source of information. Responsible for providing accurate information.
- Downstream System - Systems that are fed from the OpenRegistry. Rutgers is looking at scoping this to only include systems that things belong to the Identity Infrastructure. Other systems that need data should look to standard APIs such as LDAP.
...
- Messaging Queue for downstream systems to poll for retrieving updates. This may be a system such as LDAP or a deprovisioning tool watching for specific items.
- Audit Log should be specific enough that we can track redo, undo and troubleshoot, whether its automatic or manual.
