How Status Aggregator Works

The Status Aggregator server:

• Receives notifications of user status changes and caches them.

• Receives queries for status values from client CIC servers.

• Receives and manages requests to monitor for changes in the status of specific users.

The server does not try to map from one status type to another and does not proactively request status values from other CIC servers. It is by design a passive subsystem.

CIC servers receive status information from the Status Aggregator server.

Note: In order for Status Aggregator to include status information about a user, that user must have an associated email account matching his or her LDAP (or other data source) email account.
