How to integrate ADManager Plus and SAP SuccessFactors

• Log in to ADManager Plus.
• Navigate to the Automation tab and click HCM Integrations.
• Under HCM applications, click the Custom HCM tile to integrate a new custom HCM solution.
• In the Custom HCM Integration window that pops up, enter a suitable Name and Description, upload a Logo for SAP SuccessFactors, and click Save.
• Click the SAP SuccessFactors tile added in the previous step to configure API authorization methods, endpoints, and LDAP data mapping.
• In the Authorization section, select Basic Authentication or API Key as the Authorization Type.
  • API Key

    If you select API key as the authorization type:

    • Enter the key name and value in the Key and Value fields respectively.
    • Associate the key to a header or query parameter using the Add To drop-down menu and click Configure.
  • Basic Authentication

    If you select Basic Authentication as the authorization type, specify a Username and Password and click Configure.

• In the API Endpoint Configuration section, add the following:

  • Check the Repeat calling this Endpoint option to repeatedly call the API until you get the required response. From the drop-down menu, select the parameter and specify the increment value. You can also set a condition, which when satisfied calls the endpoint repeatedly.
  Note: You can configure multiple endpoints for an HCM solution.
• Once done, click Test & Save. A response window will display all the requested elements.
• Click Data Source - LDAP Attribute Mapping to match endpoints and to map AD LDAP attributes with the respective attributes in the HCM solution.
• Enter the Configuration Name and Description, and select the Automation Category from the drop-down menu.
• In the Select Endpoint field, select those columns that are unique to users (employeeIdenifier, username, etc.) but 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 the HCM solution.
• Click Save.
