Upon integrating Boomi with ADManager Plus, you can do the following:

Integration

Follow the steps below to integrate ADManager Plus with Boomi:

1. Open ADManager Plus, go to the Automation tab, and click HCM Integrations on the left panel.

2. Under HCM applications, click the Custom HCM option to add a new HCM integration.

3. In the Custom HCM Integration pop-up, add the Name and Description of the integration. You can also add a custom Logo for the Boomi tile.

4. Click Save.

5. Now the Boomi tile will appear under HCM applications. Click it to configure API authorization methods, endpoints, and LDAP data mapping.

6. Under the Authorization section, select API Key from the Authorization Type drop-down menu.

1. Enter the key name and value in the Key and Value fields, respectively (x-boomi-flow-api-key :  <API-key>).

2. Associate the key with a header or query parameter using the Add to drop-down menu and click Configure.

7. In the API Endpoint Configuration section, add the following:

1. Endpoint URL: Enter the endpoint URL (https://flow.boomi.com/api/admin/1/users).
   

2. Advanced Options: Click this option to add headers and parameters.

3. Method: Choose between the HTTP request methods Get and Post.

4. Headers: Click and configure the respective HTTP headers.

5. Parameters: Cick and configure the query parameters.

6. Message Type: Select None.

7. Repeat calling this Endpoint: You can also check this option to repeatedly call the API until you get the required response, if needed. From the drop-down menu, select the parameter and specify the increment value. You can also set a condition for calling the endpoint repeatedly. This step is only required when the complete user list retrieval needs repeated calls.
   

8. Once done, click Test & Save. The Response window will display all the requested elements.

9. Click Data Source - LDAP Attribute Mapping to match endpoints and to map AD LDAP attributes with the respective attributes in the HCM solution.

10. Enter the Configuration Name and Description and select the Automation Category from the drop-down menu.

11. In the Select Endpoint field, select those columns that are unique to users (employeeIdenifier, username, etc.). The values in these columns should be consistent across all the endpoints.

12. 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.

13. Click Save.
