Acting as secure middleware, they bridge modern IAM systems with legacy platforms like Mainframe (IBM RACF, Top Secret, ACF2) and critical applications in Healthcare (Epic, Cerner), HR, CRM, and cloud services. IDF supports deep provisioning, including datasets, resources, and advanced entitlements, and ensures real-time synchronization across your infrastructure. IDF enables seamless, secure, scalable identity lifecycle management, reducing manual work and enhancing compliance. #### Key capabilities include: - Cross-platform integration for legacy, on-prem, cloud, and hybrid systems. - Robust connectors for specialized systems (e.g., EPIC EMP/SER) and support for RACF MFA and custom attributes. - Support for millions of identities across mainframes, UNIX/Linux, Windows, AD/LDAP, and SaaS apps like ServiceNow, Salesforce, Workday, Office 365, G Suite, AWS, and more. ## IdentityForge Connector List #### Mainframe Security Systems - IBM RACF - IBM z/VM - CA Top Secret - CA ACF2 #### Midrange Servers - IBM i (AS/400) #### Healthcare Systems - Epic EMP & SER (HL7) - Cerner #### ERP - SAP ECC #### Technology Connectors - X3270 Screen Scraper - REST - Generic Database - Generic SSH - FHIR #### Directories - Active Directory - LDAP #### Saas - AWS - Google Apps - Azure AD, O365 - Salesforce - ServiceNow - Workday #### Fault Tolerant Systems - HPE Nonstop Compute [Download One-Pager](https://www.idmworks.com/One-Pagers/IdentityForge%20Connectors%20One-Pager%202026.pdf) > Simplify and secure your identity ecosystem with automated integration that adapts to your infrastructure and scales as you grow. #### Your Challenge Organizations rely on a mix of legacy and modern applications, each with unique security protocols and access requirements. **As a modern organization, you face growing complexity in managing identities across heterogeneous environments with:** - **Operational Overhead** - Manual provisioning and de-provisioning eats up valuable time. - Duplicate identity records and stale accounts lead to inefficiencies and errors. - **Compliance Gaps** - Difficulty maintaining audit trails and meeting regulatory standards. - Lack of centralized visibility makes governance reporting slow and incomplete. - **Security Vulnerabilities** - Inconsistent access control across systems increases exposure to insider threats. - Lag in de-provisioning results in orphaned accounts, a common attack vector. - **Scalability Bottlenecks** - As your organization expands, managing identity lifecycles without automation becomes impossible. - Integration with new platforms requires manual processes. ### Benefits of IdentityForge Connectors ![Enhanced Operational Efficiency](https://www.idmworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/enhanced-operational-efficiency.png) ### Enhanced operational efficiency Integrate seamlessly with legacy and cloud applications to streamline access management tasks ![Real Time Compliance](https://www.idmworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/real-time-compliance.png) ### Real-time compliance Achieve full visibility and control over compliance data, with automated, auditable reporting. ![Automated Access Management](https://www.idmworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/automated-access-management.png) ### Automated access management Minimize manual provisioning and de-provisioning tasks, reducing human error and increasing speed ![Improved Security](https://www.idmworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/improved-security.png) ### Improved security Centralize access control and maintain consistent security across all connected systems. ![Scalable Integration](https://www.idmworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/scalable-integration.png) ### Scalable integration Scale with ease as your organization grows, without requiring significant adjustments to IAM protocols.

This ensures access stays accurate and compliant, even in high-risk environments like mainframe and healthcare infrastructure. ![Flexible Integration Complex Systems](https://www.idmworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/flexible-integration-complex-systems.png) ### **Flexible Integration for Complex Systems** Adapt quickly to evolving environments with customizable parsing and support for RACF MFA segments and organization-specific attributes without requiring extensive code changes. ![Deep Mainframe Identity Control](https://www.idmworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/deep-mainframe-identity-control.png) ### **Deep Mainframe Identity Control**  Extend modern identity governance into legacy environments with support for advanced entitlements such as RACF datasets and resources, ACF2 x-ROLs, and Top Secret profiles, bringing full visibility and control to traditionally difficult-to-manage systems. ![Rapid Deployment Enterprise Support](https://www.idmworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/rapid-deployment-enterprise-support.png) ### **Rapid Deployment and Enterprise Support**  Accelerate implementation with prebuilt templates, detailed documentation, and 24×7 global support to ensure your identity infrastructure stays reliable and secure. ![Stronger Security Lower Operational Cost](https://www.idmworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/stronger-security-lower-operational-cost.png) ### **Stronger Security with Lower Operational Cost**  Reduce administrative overhead, improve return on investment, and maintain consistent identity security policies across both legacy platforms and modern systems. ### Unified Identity Management IDMWORKS’ Identityforge Connectors allow you to securely embed your IAM into legacy systems and cloud applications, ensuring consistent, centralized management. ### Streamlined Automation Automate workflows across platforms, reducing the need for repetitive manual tasks and enabling faster response to access changes. ### Built-in Compliance Reporting Simplify compliance with built-in reporting tools that generate real-time reports tailored to industry regulations and audit standards. ![](https://www.idmworks.com/wp-content/themes/idmworks/static/backgrounds/swirl.jpg) ## Get Started **Ready to modernize your identity management strategy?** Contact us today to schedule a consultation or demo with our experts. ## Case Studies - > A leading mainframe provider with 250+ z/OS and 100+ zVM instances with no single source of truth application and no identity management solution with around 1M records where IDMWORKS proposed and delivered IDF RACF connector solution. A POC was done in the test environment which lasted 3 months. Our team implemented use cases for complex scenarios on RACF including MFA, Datasets/Resource access reconciliation, automated deployment of RACF agents to multiple Mainframe systems and real time monitoring of the system. IDMWORKS was entrusted to deliver a solution to have a single source of truth for the RACF identities for MVS (z/OS) and z/VM systems. The solution caters to the provisioning requests on these systems along with managing the users access to RACF datasets and resources. The solution paves the way for a truly modern IAM program with a fully integrated single source of truth system that addresses current pains and future business concerns. > > ![women in cybersecurity](https://www.idmworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Blog-21_04-616x555.jpg) - > A leading financial services firm required to manage ACF2 cross reference ROLE records where IDMWORS proposed the IDF ACF2 connector solution.
