When you deploy the VMware Identity Manager virtual appliance in the DMZ, you must also deploy a standalone VMware Identity Manager connector appliance in your enterprise network in outbound-only connection mode.
The connector connects the VMware Identity Manager service to other components within the enterprise network such as Active Directory and Horizon 7.
The connector communicates with the service in outbound-only connection mode through a communication channel.
Note: If you have an Workspace ONE UEM deployment and use the AirWatch Cloud Connector, the
VMware Identity Manager connector is not required unless you need the use cases supported by the
VMware Identity Manager connector. See
On Premises Deployment Model Using AirWatch Cloud Connector.
