Oracle JDE

Enhance HR-IT coordination by automating employee life cycle management with UKG Ready - AD integration/h2>
ERP Identity provisioning

Oracle JD Edwards (JDE) is an enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution that helps organizations manage business operations, including finance, supply chain, and human resources. By integrating Oracle JDE with ADManager Plus, businesses can automate user provisioning and enforce role-based access controls, ensuring seamless synchronization between Active Directory (AD) and Oracle JDE. This integration enhances security, reduces administrative overhead, and ensures that users have the right access based on their job roles.

 

User provisioning:

When a new user record is added in Oracle JDE, ADManager Plus automatically provisions a corresponding user account in Active Directory (AD). This ensures that employees gain access to essential enterprise systems without manual intervention, streamlining the onboarding process.

 

Role-based access controls (RBAC):

With ADManager Plus, role-based access permissions in Oracle JDE can be assigned or adjusted dynamically based on role changes in AD. This ensures that users receive the correct permissions in Oracle JDE, aligning access levels with job responsibilities while maintaining security and compliance.

 

How to configure Oracle JDE integration in ADManager Plus:

Prerequisites:

  • Oracle JDE uses basic authentication credentials to authorize API requests.
  • Authentication credentials required: username, password, and subdomain.

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 Oracle JDE (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 Oracle JDE's API documentation to configure inbound and outbound webhooks to perform the required actions.

Authorization configuration

  • Log in to ADManager Plus and navigate to the Directory/Application Settings.
  • Select Application Integrations.
  • Under Enterprise Applications, search and click Oracle JDE
  • Toggle the Enable Oracle JDE Integration button on.
  • In the Oracle JDE Configuration page, click Authorization.
  • Enter the authentication credentials.
  • Click Configure.

Inbound webhook configuration

An inbound webhook enables you to fetch user data from Oracle JDE to ADManager Plus. 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. To configure an inbound webhook for Oracle JDE:

  • Under Inbound Webhook, click Oracle JDE Endpoint Configuration.
  • In the Endpoint Configuration tab, an endpoint, Oracle JDE USERS ENDPOINT, comes preconfigured with Endpoint URL, API Method, Headers, and Parameters fields to fetch user accounts from Oracle JDE. To use this preconfigured endpoint, replace {subdomain} with the domain name of your Oracle JDE instance in the Endpoint URL field. 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 as per Oracle JDE'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 Oracle JDE'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 Oracle JDE's API references to see which Parameters must be configured to fetch only specific parameters.
    • You can configure multiple endpoints for Oracle JDE 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 Oracle JDE.
  • 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 Oracle JDE.
    • If you would like to create a new custom format for this, click Mapping Attribute.
    • Click Save.
  • The attribute mapping configured in this section can be selected as the data source during automation configuration.

Outbound webhook configuration

Outbound webhook enables you to update the changes made in AD using ADManager Plus to Oracle JDE or forward required details from Oracle JDE and synchronize them with AD.

To configure an outbound webhook for Oracle JDE:

  • Under Outbound Webhook, click Oracle JDE 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 Oracle JDE's API references for the API details, such as the URL, headers, parameters, and other requirements that will be needed.
  • 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 to test the configured API call. Select the desired user or group for 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 as per the configuration.
  • The webhook response and request details will then be displayed. Verify them for the expected API behavior and click Save.
Note: The configured webhooks can be integrated into Orchestration Templates, enabling scheduled or event-driven automation to consecutively perform a sequence of actions on a group of users or on individual users.
