Prerequisites To connect EmpowerID to Zendesk, you need a Zendesk account. You also need the following from Zendesk to create your Account Store.
These values are needed to authenticate EmpowerID to Zendesk and to authorize the system to perform actions in Zendesk on your behalf. |
Step 1 – Create a Zendesk account store in EmpowerID
On the navbar, expand Admin > Applications and Directories and select Account Stores and Systems.
On the Account Stores page, select the Actions tab and then click Create Account Store.
Under System Types, search for Zendesk.
Click the Zendesk record to select the type and then click Submit.
On the Zendesk Settings page that appears, fill in the following information:
Name — Enter a name for your account store.
User Name — Enter the username for your Zendesk Administrator.
Password — Enter the password for your Zendesk Administrator.
Subdomain — Enter your Zendesk domain.
When finished, click Submit to create the account store.
EmpowerID creates the account store and the associated resource system. The next step is to configure the attribute flow between the account store and EmpowerID.
