The PoC deployment

In PoC scenarios we provide an openLDAP integrated with Smartfacts. Users are added to the Smartfacts PoC instance via openLDAP. There is no option to directly link to an Enterprise LDAP.

Hardware requirements

  • CPU:

    • x64 / AMD64 processor - ARM based servers will not work

    • Minimum: 6 Cores

  • RAM: minimum 32 GB

  • Hard disk - SSD NVMe recommended: minimum 150 GB

    Most of the data will be stored under /var/lib/rancher/k3s

  • Operating System: Linux

    All Linux distributions running K3s can be used.

Deployment on Kubernetes

We strongly recommend to deploy Smartfacts on Kubernetes. PoCs will ONLY be supported by MID based on Kubernetes:

  1. Deployment on Kubernetes with Internet Connection: LINK

  2. Deployment on Kubernetes without Internet Connection: LINK

Generating an appropriate X.509 certificate

We support our customers with this page to generate an appropriate certificate: LINK

The regular on-premises deployment:

  1. If you are using Smartfacts in a production environment, then Smartfacts allows to directly connect to your Enterprise LDAP and synchronize groups of users to the CAMP and your Smartfacts instance.

  2. MID also offeres a cloud version of Smartfacts

The technical factsheet provides the components used by Smartfacts.

The Smartfacts OpenAPI allows to use the layer of REST services to access Smartfacts directly from 3rd party applications.
