How to integrate ADManager Plus with Zoho People.

How to integrate ADManager Plus with Zoho People.

By integrating your HRMS with ADManager Plus, you can import user details from the HR software into ADManager Plus automatically, and create user accounts in AD using those details. By doing this you no longer have to spend time manually creating a CSV file with user details and writing a script to import or export the CSV files.


ManageEngine ADManager Plus, an AD management solution, supports integration with two HR management systems:
1.  Zoho People
2. Workday

Steps to simplify user management by integrating ADManager Plus with Zoho People.

Step 1: Enable integration between ADManager Plus and Zoho People.

  • Logon to ADManager Plus and click on the Admin tab. 

  • Click on the Integrations option in the left navigation pane. 

  • Click on the Zoho People icon and then on the arrow located beside Account Details

  • Enter the Username and Password of the Zoho People account that has to be integrated with ADManager Plus.


Step 2: Perform LDAP attribute mapping.

  • Click on Add New Configuration

  • Enter a suitable Configuration Name and Description.

  • Map the settings of user accounts in Zoho People to the corresponding LDAP attributes in AD. For instance, map the givenName under LDAP Attribute Name to the FirstName under Zoho People Column. Click on the symbol to perform attribute mappings for all mandatory attributes. 

  • Click on Save.
    Note: Password is a mandatory attribute that cannot be mapped to the Zoho People columns. To resolve this, create a template and specify the password or the method to generate the password. You can then apply this template in the next step

  • Click on Test Connection and Save


Step 3: Automate user management via ADManager Plus-Zoho People integration.
  • Click on the Automation tab and click on Create New Automation

  • Specify the Automation Name and Description. Set the Automation Category to User Automation

  • Select the Domain and OUs for which you wish to automate user management via the ADManagerPlus-Zoho People integration.

  • Under Automation Task, select the relevant option. 

  • If you wish to automate user creation or modification, under the Template to be applied field, select that template in which you have specified the password or the method to set the password (as mentioned in the note given after Step 2).

  • Change the Data from CSV option to Data from Zoho People option. 

  • Select the desired attribute mapping. Click on the Advanced button to configure additional conditions. Select the Ignore current records in Zoho People, if you wish to sync only the new users created in Zoho People with that of AD. 

  • Select the Implement Business Workflow option. 

  • Specify the time interval and frequency at which you wish to execute this automation. 

  • Enable notifications to be sent whenever this automation is executed.

  • Click on Save & Run
