|---|---|---|---|
Cinchy Web Application
This is the primary application for Cinchy, providing both the UI for end users as well as the REST APIs that serve application integration needs. The back-end holds the engine that powers Cinchy's data / metadata management functionality.
ASP.NET MVC 5
.NET Framework 4.7.2+IIS 7.5+Windows Server 2012 or later
Cinchy IdP
This is an OpenID Connect / OAuth 2.0 based Identity Provider that comes with Cinchy for authenticating users. Cinchy supports user group management directly on the platform, but can also connect into an existing IdP available in the organization if it can issue SAML tokens. Optionally, Active Directory groups may be integrated into the platform. When using SSO, this component federates authentication to the customer's SAML enabled IdP. This centralized IdP issues tokens to all integrated applications including the Cinchy web app as well as any components accessing the REST based APIs.

Cinchy CLI
The CLI offers utilities to get data in and out of Cinchy. It has tools to sync data from a source into a table in Cinchy. it can operate on large datasets with built-in partitioning capability and performs a reconciliation to determine differences before applying changes. Another utility is the data export, which invokes a query against the Cinchy platform and dumps the results to a file for distribution to other systems requiring batch data feeds.
.NET Core 2.0
.NET Core Runtime 2.0.7+ (on Windows or Linux)
ADO.NET Driver
For .NET applications Cinchy provides an ADO.NET driver that can be used to connect into the platform and perform CRUD operations on data.
.NET Standard 2.0
