Approaches for data integration between multiple IT sources using automated data processing based on target metadata are provided. Specifically, an integration component is configured to load a mapped data set into a table with delta processing based on a configuration object containing, e.g., the source data location, target table name, and source to target mapping. The integration component uses the target metadata to validate data, identify changes, generate the necessary database programming language (e.g., structured query language (SQL)), and run the database programming language with data binding to perform the actual data updates. The integration component leverages the data target metadata to automate the processing of source data, thus providing a way to validate the data, and identify delta changes at the field level between the source and target. This significantly reduces the overall development effort, while providing consistency in record handling and error reporting.

Embodiments described herein provide approaches for user access control to a secured application. Specifically, a custom authentication tool is configured to intercept a request from a user for access to a secured application and override one or more default requirements (e.g., application pre-registration, for accessing the application). That is, when credentials of the user are received at the authentication tool, they are verified against data within a user directory to generate a user profile, which is then provided to the secured application to satisfy the requirements for granting access to the user. As such, the secured application's requirements are met, yet users do not have to manually pre-register to obtain access because the registration is performed in the background by the authentication tool.

User access control to a secured application
