Hive
Sync Hive and ADManager Plus to automate user provisioning and updates
Hive is a cloud-based project management tool that helps organizations streamline workflows, manage tasks, and improve team collaboration. The integration between Hive and ManageEngine ADManager Plus allows organizations to automate key aspects of user life cycle management, ensuring that user records remain synchronized across Hive, Active Directory (AD), and other connected platforms like Exchange and Microsoft 365.
Automate user creation
When new users are added to Hive, ADManager Plus automatically creates corresponding user accounts in AD, Exchange, Microsoft 365, and other connected business applications. This ensures that employees have the required access to tools and resources as soon as their user records are created in Hive.
Synchronize user changes
When a user's details, such as their role, department, or contact information, are updated in AD, these changes are automatically reflected in Hive. This ensures that any modifications to user data are synchronized across platforms, maintaining consistency and accuracy in user profiles.
How to configure the Hive integration in ADManager Plus
Prerequisites
Please be sure to provide the bearer token to retrieve the desired information and perform tasks in Hive. Refer to Hive's API references for more details.
Privileges
- To import users (inbound actions): Ensure the account used for authorization has permission to read all user accounts.
- To perform any action or query in Hive (outbound actions): Ensure the account used for authorization has permission to perform the desired action.
Authorization configuration
- Log in to ADManager Plus and navigate to the Automation tab.
- On the left pane, under Configuration, click Application Integrations.
- Under Enterprise Applications, click Hive.
- On the Hive Configuration page, toggle the Enable Hive Integration button on.
- Click Authorization.
- Perform the steps to generate the bearer token in Hive and paste the bearer token in the Value field.
- Click Configure.
Inbound webhook configuration
An inbound webhook enables you to import user data from Hive into 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 Hive:
- Under Inbound Webhook, click Hive Endpoint Configuration.
-
On the Endpoint Configuration tab the endpoint Hive USERS ENDPOINT comes preconfigured with the Endpoint URL, Method, Headers, and Parameters fields filled in to fetch user accounts from Hive. To use this preconfigured endpoint, replace the API_Key value in Headers and in Parameters replace values of UserId with that of your Hive instance in the Endpoint URL field. However, if you would like to use a new endpoint to import users, you can configure one by clicking the + Add API Endpoint button and filling in the required fields according to Hive'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.
- You can add macros to your endpoint configuration to dynamically change it according to your requirements using the macro chooser component ().
- Refer to Hive's API references to 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 that the requested parameters have been called to action, click Proceed.
Note:
- Refer to Hive's API references to know the parameters that must be configured to fetch only specific parameters.
- You can configure multiple endpoints for Hive 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 to the respective attributes in Hive.
- Click + Add New Configuration.
- 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 on all the endpoints. - In the Attribute Mapping field, select the attribute from the LDAP Attribute Name drop-down menu and map it to the respective attribute in Hive.
- If you would like to create a new custom format for this, click Add New Format.
- Click Save.
Outbound webhook configuration
An outbound webhook enables you to send changes made in AD to Hive and to carry out tasks in Hive—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 under Management > Advanced Management > Orchestration.To configure an outbound webhook for Hive:
- Under Outbound Webhook, click Hive 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 Hive's API references for the API details, such as the URL, headers, parameters, and other requirements.
- 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 on which you can test the configured API call. Select the desired users or groups on 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 according to the configuration.
- The webhook response and request details will then be displayed. Verify them for the expected API behavior and click Save.
