Juniper Identity Management Service Overview
Juniper Identity Management Service (JIMS) is a standalone service application that runs on Microsoft Windows. The JIMS application has the following two components:
-
JIMS Collector—Collects and maintains an in-memory cache of user, device, and group information from Active Directory domains or from a syslog client.
JIMS Collector monitors and collects data from Active Directory every 30 seconds. After collecting the data, JIMS Collector automatically pushes this data to the local JIMS Server and Juniper Secure Edge when JIMS Collector is onboarded on Juniper Secure Edge.
-
JIMS Server—Is installed with JIMS Collector and manages on-premises SRX Series Firewalls. When you use Juniper Secure Edge, JIMS Collector pushes identity information to Juniper Secure Edge when configured.
Juniper Secure Edge supports JIMS Collector Release 1.7.0 or later.
Connection | Port |
---|---|
JIMS Collector connects to directory services, such as Microsoft Active Directory, using LDAP or LDAPS. |
|
JIMS Collector connects to identity Producers, such as Microsoft Domain Controllers or Microsoft Exchange Server, using MSRPC. |
TCP port 135 |
JIMS Collector connects to the SYSLOG server identity producer using internal communications. The SYSLOG server listens to TCP and UDP port for incoming syslog messages. |
TCP and UDP port 514 |
JIMS Collector connects to the PC Probe identity producers using internal communications. PC Probe sends outbound Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) requests to computers using TCP ports. |
TCP ports range 49152 to 65535 |
JIMS Collector pushes data to Juniper Secure Edge using TLS over a TCP port. |
TCP port 443 |
On-premises SRX Series Firewalls pull data from the local JIMS Server. |

Use the JIMS page to add and manage JIMS Collectors and view the JIMS Collector statistics. To access this page, select Secure Edge > Identity > JIMS.
The detailed view displays the number of times JIMS Collector connected to the JIMS server to push identity-related data, such as domains, users, device, groups, and sessions.
