EmpowerID provides connectors for a wide range of user directories and resource systems. As an administrator, you can use these connectors to quickly connect EmpowerID to your organization's identity-aware systems and applications. When you do so, you create an account store for that application in the EmpowerID Identity Warehouse and use that account store to configure how you want EmpowerID to manage the identity information in that system.

The EmpowerID UltiPro connector allows organizations to bring the user data in their UltiPro system to EmpowerID, where it can be managed and synchronized with data in any connected back-end user directories. This topic demonstrates how to create the connector in EmpowerID.


Prerequisites

In order to connect EmpowerID to UltiPro, you must have an UltiPro account that is configured to interface with external systems. This means that you must have the following information (provided by UltiPro):

  • Username
  • Password
  • User API Key
  • Customer API Key
  • Base URL

These values are used to authenticate EmpowerID to UltiPro. In addition, you must create a report as a Web service that specifies the fields you want to expose and then provide EmpowerID with the path to that service.

Additionally, you will need to create a report in UltiPro and expose it as a service. The report needs to have the below fields. Fields designated as required indicate that a value must be provided.

Before connecting EmpowerID to an external directory, please review the Getting Started with Directory Systems topic. The topic walks you through the prerequisites you need to complete before connecting to an external directory for the first time. These prerequisites include:

  • Configuring the appropriate server roles for your EmpowerID servers
  • Reviewing the Join and Provision Rules for your environment
  • Reviewing the Join and Provision Filters for your environment

If you have already connected EmpowerID to another external directory, you can skip these prerequisites.
