Automate user management with AssetSonar and ADManager Plus integration

ITAM Identity provisioning

AssetSonar is a cloud-based IT asset management software that helps organizations track, manage, and optimize their physical and digital assets throughout their life cycle. Integrating AssetSonar with ManageEngine ADManager Plus offers organizations an automated solution for managing user life cycle processes. This integration ensures that as new users are added to AD, corresponding accounts are automatically created in AssetSonar, Exchange, Microsoft 365, and other connected business applications. Additionally, updates to user profiles in AD are reflected in AssetSonar, keeping all user information accurate and synchronized across platforms.

 

Automate user creation

When new users are added to AD, ADManager Plus automatically provisions corresponding user accounts in AssetSonar.

 

Synchronize user changes

Any changes made to user profiles in AD such as role, department, or contact information are automatically synchronized with AssetSonar. This ensures that modifications to user data are consistently updated across platforms, maintaining the accuracy of user profiles.

 

How to configure integrate AssetSonar integration in ADManager Plus

Prerequisites

Please ensure to provide the bearer token to retrieve desired information and perform tasks in AssetSonar. Refer to AssetSonar API references for more details.

Privileges

To import users (inbound action): Ensure the account used for authorization has permission to read all user accounts.

To perform any action or query in 15Five (outbound action): Ensure the account used for authorization has permission to perform the desired action.

Note: ADManager Plus comes with a preconfigured set of APIs that helps perform basic actions with the integration. If the action you require is not available, please gather the necessary API details from the AssetSonar API documentation to configure under inbound/outbound webhooks to perform the required actions.

Authorization configuration

  • Log in to ADManager Plus and navigate to the Automation tab.
  • In the left pane, under Configuration, click Application Integrations.
  • Under Enterprise Applications, click AssetSonar.
  • Toggle the Enable AssetSonar Integration button on.
  • In the AssetSonar Configuration page, click Authorization.
  • Perform the steps to generate Bearer token in AssetSonar and paste the Bearer token in the Value field.
  • Click Configure.

Inbound webhook configuration

Inbound webhook enables you to fetch user data from AssetSonar to ADManager Plus. The attribute mapping configured in this section can be selected as the data source during automation configuration. To configure an inbound webhook for AssetSonar:

  • Under Inbound Webhook, click AssetSonar Endpoint Configuration.
  • In the Endpoint Configuration tab, an endpoint, Sentry USERS ENDPOINT, comes preconfigured with an Endpoint URL, API Method, Headers, and Parameters fields to fetch user accounts from Sentry. If you would like to use this preconfigured endpoint, replace {SUBDOMAIN} with that of your AssetSonar instance in the Endpoint URL field. However, if you would like to use a new endpoint to import users, you can configure one using the + Add API endpoint button and filling in the required fields as per Sentry's API references. Click here to learn how.

    • Note:

      • The API key value pair is preconfigured as a header for authenticating API requests as configured during Authorization Configuration.
      • Macros: You can add macros to your endpoint configuration to dynamically change it as per your requirement using the macro chooser component.
      • Refer to AssetSonar's API references and configure additional headers and parameters, if required.
    • Click Test & Save. A response window will display all the requested parameters that can be fetched using the API call. After verifying if the requested parameters have been called to action, click Proceed.

      • Note:

      • Refer to AssetSonar's API references to know the Parameters that must be configured to fetch only specific parameters.
      • You can configure multiple endpoints for AssetSonar using the + Add API endpoint button. Click here to learn how.
    • Click Data Source - LDAP Attribute Mapping to match endpoints and to map AD LDAP attributes with the respective attributes in AssetSonar.
    • Click + Add New Configuration and perform the following:
      • Enter the Configuration Name and Description and select the Automation Category from the drop-down menu.
      • In the Select Endpoint field, select the desired endpoint and a Primary Key that is unique to a user (e.g. employeeIdentifier).

      • Note: When multiple endpoints are configured, this attribute must hold the same value in all the endpoints.

      • In the Attribute Mapping field, select the attribute from the LDAP Attribute Name drop-down menu and map it with the respective attribute in AssetSonar.
      • If you would like to create a new custom format for this, click Add New Format.
      • Click Save.

    Outbound webhook configuration

    Outbound webhook enables you to send changes made in AD to AssetSonar, and carry out tasks in AssetSonar—all from ADManager Plus. The webhooks configured in this section can be included in Orchestration Templates, which in turn can be used during event-driven and scheduled automations. They can also be applied directly on desired users to perform a sequence of actions on them (Management > Advanced Management > Orchestration).

    To configure outbound webhooks for AssetSonar:

    • Under Outbound Webhook, click AssetSonar Webhook Configuration.
    • Click + Add Webhook.
    • Enter a name and description for this webhook.
    • Decide on the action that has to be performed and refer to AssetSonar's API references for the API details, such as URL, and the headers, parameters, and other requirements that will be needed.
    • Select the HTTP method that will enable you to perform the desired action on the endpoint from the drop-down menu.
    • Enter the endpoint URL.
    • Configure the Headers, Parameters, and Message Type in the appropriate format based on the API call that you would like to perform.
    • Click Test and Save.
    • A pop-up window will then display a list of AD users and groups to test the configured API call. Select the desired user or group over which this API request has to be tested and click OK. This will make a real time call to the endpoint URL, and the selected objects' will be modified as per the configuration.
    • The webhook response and request details will then be displayed. Verify them for the expected API behavior and click Save.
