Does the following use case accurately describe provisioning on a source that has provisioning disabled?
Solution: Provisioning is initialed by a process (e.g. Access Request Role Assignments). Provisioning instructions are calculated based on current access, and go through filtering and expansion processes. Provisioning is then assigned to a source for provisioning. A virtual appliance retries the provisioning request and carries out the provisioning via the connector. The results are communicated back to identityNow.
The provided use case incorrectly describes the provisioning process on a source that has provisioning disabled. If provisioning is disabled for a source, automated provisioning via the Virtual Appliance and connectors is not possible. The Virtual Appliance cannot retry or carry out the provisioning in this case, as the system explicitly prevents automated provisioning operations on sources marked as non-provisionable.
When a source has provisioning disabled, the system only supports manual provisioning, where a task is opened in IdentityNow for a person to manually execute the provisioning steps. The Virtual Appliance does not handle provisioning for disabled sources, so the described scenario where it retries the request and carries out provisioning is inaccurate.

Is this an item that an IdentityNow engineer should configure when implementing a source that uses a JDBC connector?
Solution: Define an account schema by using 'Discover Schema'' or by manually configuring the schema attributes.
Yes, defining an account schema is an essential step when implementing a JDBC connector. The schema defines the structure of the identity data being pulled from the database, including the attributes that will be mapped to identity profiles in IdentityNow. The schema can be defined either by using the 'Discover Schema' option, which automatically identifies available attributes, or by manually configuring the schema attributes if specific custom mappings are required.

Is this statement true about the purpose of a tenant?
Solution: The default non-production tenant has full performance scalability.
The default non-production tenant does not have the same full performance scalability as a production tenant. Non-production environments are typically configured with reduced resources since they are intended for testing, development, or demonstration rather than handling large-scale, live workloads.
Key Reference from SailPoint Documentation:
Performance Differences Between Tenants: SailPoint non-production tenants are generally scaled down compared to production environments to reflect their testing and demonstration purposes, not for high-performance or large-scale operations.
Is the following true about the web-services connector in IdentityNow?
Solution: The connector supports Basic Authentication.
Yes, the Web Services connector in SailPoint IdentityNow supports Basic Authentication. Basic Authentication is a standard method for securing API requests by sending credentials (username and password) encoded in the HTTP headers. This is a common practice for authenticating web service requests, and the Web Services connector in IdentityNow supports it along with other authentication methods like OAuth.

When preparing for a manager certification campaign is this a step that is considered a best practice before the campaign preview is generated?
Solution: validate the email template. Certification Due
Yes, validating the email template (e.g., Certification Due) is a best practice before the campaign preview is generated. Communication during a certification campaign is key to ensuring that managers are aware of their tasks and deadlines. Validating the email templates helps ensure that the messaging is clear, correct, and aligned with the campaign's objectives. It also ensures that any necessary details, such as deadlines, instructions, and links to the certification tasks, are properly included.
Proper validation of email templates helps avoid communication issues that could delay or negatively impact the campaign's success.
