Which use case requires a remote connector server with ForgeRock Identity Cloud?

1. Users are accessing the service from within the company network

2. Admins want to onboard end users from a remote user store located externally behind a firewall

3. Conducting batch updates to local user databases

4. Integrating with Active Directory on the same network

The correct answer is: Admins want to onboard end users from a remote user store located externally behind a firewall

A remote connector server is essential for scenarios where access to external systems is required, particularly when those systems are located behind a firewall and not directly accessible from the ForgeRock Identity Cloud. In this specific use case, admins looking to onboard end users from an external user store need to ensure that the connection can securely and effectively reach that user store while adhering to the security measures in place, such as firewalls. Using a remote connector server allows for a secure conduit between the ForgeRock Identity Cloud and the remote user store, facilitating the onboarding process without compromising security or data integrity. In contrast, the other scenarios presented do not necessitate a remote connector server: users accessing services within the company network and integrating with Active Directory on the same network do not require this intermediary, as those environments are accessible directly. Similarly, conducting batch updates to local user databases can typically be accomplished through direct connections without the need for a remote connector.
