Streamline identity management with PeopleStrong and ADManager Plus integration

Identity provisioning

Integrating PeopleStrong with ManageEngine ADManager Plus, enables PeopleStrong to Active Directory synchronization, enabling IT teams to efficiently automate and manage crucial identity and access tasks across Active Directory (AD), Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft 365, and other key platforms. This integration reduces manual effort and errors by automating repetitive tasks such as user provisioning, updates, and deprovisioning, thereby streamlining IT operations.

 

Bulk user provisioning

Automatically set up user accounts and grant necessary permissions in bulk across AD, Exchange, and Microsoft 365 when new employee records are added to PeopleStrong.

 

Real time synchronization

Synchronize employee data across AD, Exchange, Microsoft 365, and other systems in real time.

 

How to integrate PeopleStrong with ADManager Plus

Prerequisites:

PeopleStrong uses OAuth2.0 to authorize API requests and requires client_id and client_secret credentials for authorization.

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 PeopleStrong (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 PeopleStrong API documentation to configure under inbound/outbound webhooks to perform the required actions.

Authorization configuration

  • Log in to ADManage r Plus and navigate to the Automation tab.
  • In the left pane, under Configuration, click Application Integrations.
  • Under Enterprise Applications, click PeopleStrong.
  • Toggle the Enable PeopleStrong Integration button on.
  • In the PeopleStrong Configuration page, click Authorization.
  • Enter credentials
  • Click Configure.

Inbound webhook configuration

Inbound webhook enables you to fetch user data from PeopleStrong to ADManager Plus. The attribute mapping configured in this section can be selected as the data source during automation configuration to perform the desired action on the list of users received from the API response. To configure an inbound webhook for PeopleStrong:

  • Under Inbound Webhook, click PeopleStrong Endpoint Configuration.

  • In the Endpoint Configuration tab, an endpoint, PeopleStrong USERS ENDPOINT, comes preconfigured with an Endpoint URL, API Method, Headers, and Parameters fields to fetch user accounts from PeopleStrong. To use this preconfigured endpoint, replace {subdomain} with the domain name of your PeopleStrong instance in the Endpoint URL field. 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 PeopleStrong'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 PeopleStrong's API references and configure additional headers and parameters, if required.

  • Once done, click Test & Save. A response window will display all the requested parameters that can be fetched using the API call. Click Proceed.

    Note:

    • Refer to PeopleStrong's API references to know the Parameters that must be configured to fetch only specific parameters.
    • You can configure multiple endpoints for PeopleStrong 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 PeopleStrong.

    [AD Manager Plus also lets you customize attribute format from PeopleStrong]

  • 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 (for example, 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 column in PeopleStrong.
    • If you would like to create a new custom format for this, click Mapping Attribute.
    • Click Save.

Outbound webhook configuration

Outbound webhook enables you to update the changes made in AD using ADManager Plus to PeopleStrong or fetch or forward required details from PeopleStrong and synchronize them with AD. They can also be applied directly to desired users to perform a sequence of actions on them (Management > Advanced Management > Orchestration). To configure outbound webhooks for PeopleStrong:

To configure an outbound webhook for PeopleStrong:

  • Under Outbound Webhook, click PeopleStrong 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 PeopleStrong's API references for the API details, such as the URL, 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.
Note: The configured webhooks can be integrated into Orchestration Templates—enabling scheduled or event-driven automation—to consecutively perform a sequence of actions on a group of users or on a group of users or on individual users.
