The EmpowerID Workday connector is a read-only connector that uses the SCIM 2.0 protocol to allow you to bring the user data from a Workday cloud instance to EmpowerID, where it can be used to provision EmpowerID Persons, and be synchronized with data in any connected back-end user directories.

The Workday connector is an EmpowerID microservice that you deploy to an Azure app service, which in turn retrieves information from Workday. The app service uses a system-assigned managed identity linked to an application you create in Azure AD for EmpowerID. The managed identity is used to allow the Workday microservice to access Azure AD-protected services without needing to supply credentials for authentication. The entire process uses secure client certificate authentication.
