Cloud Entity

Enable frictionless SSO for Cloud Entity by connecting it with corporate directories.

Identity provisioningIdentity management

Overview

Cloudentity (now part of SecureAuth) is a modern identity and access management (IAM) platform that provides secure and scalable access control for APIs, applications, and user identities. Integrating Cloudentity with ADManager Plus allows IT teams to synchronize user information between Active Directory (AD) and Cloudentity, ensuring consistent identity data and streamlined access management across systems.

 

Retrieve user details

Get user data from Cloudentity, enabling real-time verification and comparison of user attributes. This helps maintain data consistency between AD and Cloudentity and supports audit and compliance efforts.

 

Automated user lifecycle management

ADManager Plus can automatically create, update, or delete user accounts in Cloudentity based on user activity or status changes in Active Directory. This ensures accurate access provisioning, reduces manual effort, and helps enforce security policies by revoking access for inactive or terminated users.

 

How to integrate Cloudentity with ADManager Plus

Prerequisites:

Cloudentity uses OAuth 2.0 to authorize API requests. Please ensure to provide the client_id and client_secret with permissions to retrieve desired information and perform tasks in Cloudentity. Refer to the Cloudentity API references page for more details.

Privileges:

  • To import users (inbound action): Ensure the account used for authorization has permission to read all user accounts.
  • To perform any action or query in Cloudentity (outbound action): Ensure the account used for authorization has permission to perform the desired action.
Note: ADManager Plus comes with a preconfigured set of APIs that help perform basic actions with the integration. If the action you require is not available, please gather the necessary API details from the Cloudentity API documentation to configure under inbound/outbound webhooks to perform the required actions.

Authorization configuration

  • Log in to ADManager Plus and navigate to Directory/Application Settings.
  • Go to Application Integrations, then search and select Cloudentity.
  • Toggle the Enable Cloudentity Integration button on.
  • In the Cloudentity Configuration page, click Authorization.
  • Perform steps to generate client_id and client_secret from Cloudentity, and paste them in the respective value fields.
  • Enter Grant Type as the Client Credentials.
  • In the Auth Token URL field replace {domain}:{port} value with hostname and port.
  • Click Configure.

Inbound webhook configuration

The inbound webhook enables you to pull user data from Cloudentity to ADManager Plus and perform desired ADManager Plus Automation action on them. To configure an inbound webhook for Cloudentity:

  • Under Inbound Webhook, click Cloudentity Endpoint Configuration.
  • In the Endpoint Configuration tab, an endpoint, Cloudentity USERS ENDPOINT, comes preconfigured with an Endpoint URL, API Method, Headers, and Parameters fields to fetch user accounts from Cloudentity. If you would like to use this preconfigured endpoint, replace {domain}:{port}, {ipID} value with hostname, port and identity pool ID of your Cloudentity instance in the Endpoint URL field. However, if you would like to use a new endpoint to import users, you can configure one using the + Add API endpoint button and filling in the required fields per Cloudentity's API references. Click here to learn how. Note:
    • The API key value pair is preconfigured as a header for authenticating API requests as configured during Authorization Configuration.
    • Macros: You can add macros to your endpoint configuration to dynamically change it as per your requirement using the macro chooser component
    • Refer to Cloudentity's API references and configure additional headers and parameters, if required.
  • Once done, click Test & Save. A response window will display all the requested parameters that can be fetched using the API call. Click Proceed. Note:
    • Refer to Cloudentity's API references to know the Parameters that must be configured to fetch specific parameters.
    • You can configure multiple endpoints for Cloudentity using the + Add API endpoint button. Click here to learn how.
  • Click Data Source - LDAP Attribute Mapping to match endpoints and to map AD LDAP attributes with the respective attributes in Cloudentity.
  • Click + Add New Configuration and perform the following:
    • Enter the Configuration Name and Description and select the Automation Category from the drop-down menu.
    • In the Select Endpoint field, select the desired endpoint and a Primary Key that is unique to a user (e.g. employeeIdentifier). Note: When multiple endpoints are configured, this attribute must hold the same value in all the endpoints.
    • In the Attribute Mapping field, select the attribute from the LDAP Attribute Name drop-down menu and map it with the respective column in Cloudentity.
    • If you would like to create a new custom format for this, click Mapping Attribute.
    • Click Save.
Note: The attribute mapping configured in this section can be selected as the data source during automation configuration to perform the desired action on the list of users received from the API response.

Outbound webhook configuration

An outbound webhook enables you to send changes made in AD using ADManager Plus to Cloudentity and carry out tasks in Cloudentity—all from ADManager Plus.To configure an outbound webhook for Cloudentity:

  • Under Outbound Webhook, click Cloudentity Webhook Configuration.
  • Click + Add Webhook.
  • Enter a name and description for this webhook.
  • Decide on the action that has to be performed and refer to Cloudentity's API references for the API details, such as the URL, headers, parameters, and other requirements.
  • Select the HTTP method that will enable you to perform the desired action on the endpoint from the drop-down menu.
  • Enter the endpoint URL.
  • Configure the Headers, Parameters, and Message Type in the appropriate format based on the API call that you would like to perform.
  • Click Test and Save.
  • A pop-up window will then display a list of AD users and groups on which to test the configured API call. Select the desired user or group on which this API request has to be tested and click OK. This will make a real-time call to the endpoint URL, and the selected objects will be modified according to the configuration.
  • The webhook response and request details will then be displayed. Verify them for the expected API behavior and click Save.
Note: The webhooks configured in this section can be included in Orchestration Templates, which can be used in event-driven and scheduled automations. They can also be applied directly to desired users to perform a sequence of actions on them (under Management > Advanced Management > Orchestration).
