ForgeRock AIC Practice Exam

When integrating with existing systems, how can organizations leverage their current Active Directory infrastructure?

1. By replacing it with Identity Cloud

2. Through custom APIs only

3. Using ForgeRock Identity Gateway

4. Only via third-party software

The correct answer is: Using ForgeRock Identity Gateway

Using ForgeRock Identity Gateway to integrate with existing systems allows organizations to leverage their current Active Directory infrastructure effectively. ForgeRock Identity Gateway acts as a secure proxy that can manage and mediate access to resources while enabling single sign-on (SSO) capabilities and federated identity management. This integration means that organizations do not need to completely overhaul their existing Active Directory setup but can instead use it as a reliable foundation for identity and access management. The Identity Gateway facilitates seamless connection between the Active Directory and other applications, supporting diverse protocols and ensuring secure communication. This approach helps maintain the integrity of existing user accounts and enables organizations to take advantage of their established processes, compliance, and security measures. The other options suggest less effective or more disruptive methods for leveraging Active Directory. Replacing it with Identity Cloud could lead to significant operational challenges and loss of data if not managed carefully. Relying exclusively on custom APIs limits flexibility and may require extensive development resources. Moreover, depending solely on third-party software can introduce additional complexities and potential risks in terms of integration and data security.
