  8. Interface Description

1. How does this Integration Work?

Once you integrate Access Manager Plus with an Enterprise Ticketing System, users will be required to enter a valid ticket ID for password retrieval and Access Manager Plus will do the following before granting access:

  1. Validate that the ticket ID entered by the user exists in the ticketing system.
  2. Verify that the incident connected with the ticket is NOT in the Closed state.
  3. Verify whether the user is authorized to view that password and thereby access the IT asset.
  4. Verify for appropriate permissions in the case of password reset attempts.

In addition to verifying the above by default, Access Manager Plus also lets you define custom criteria and validate them with the ticketing system before granting access to the passwords. The entire process is completely audited - which means, privileged actions can be ​traced using ticket IDs and password access can be traced using ticket numbers in the ticketing system. In addition, you can generate custom reports on privileged access scenario through the ticket IDs.

2. Available Ticketing Systems

Integrating Access Manager Plus with your ticketing system is so simple. Access Manager Plus readily integrates with the following:

  1. ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus Cloud
  2. ServiceDesk Plus MSP
  3. ServiceDesk Plus
  4. ServiceNow
  5. JIRA

Apart from the above, you can integrate Access Manager Plus with any other Enterprise Ticketing System.

3. Steps to Integrate your Ticketing System with Access Manager Plus

Note: Remember, if your ticketing system is ServiceDesk Plus or ServiceDesk Plus MSP and it is running in the HTTPs mode, the identity of the system needs to be verified through a valid SSL certificate, which has to be imported into the Access Manager Plus certificate store.

Enabling this option will require your users to enter any of the above valid numbers in Access Manager Plus for validation of password access requests.

3.1.5 JIRA Service Desk

Access Manager Plus integrates with JIRA Service Desk integration to automatically validate service requests related to privileged access. 

3.1.6 Others

If you are using any other ticketing system, you can integrate it with Access Manager Plus by having your own custom implementation. 

By default, Access Manager Plus validates if the ticket ID entered by the user exists in the ticketing system and also verifies if the incident connected with the ticket is NOT in 'Closed' state. If your requirement is satisfied with these, ticketing system integration is complete.

3.2 Optional Advanced Configurations

In case, you want to validate some other criteria (in addition to ticket number and ticket status), you have the option to configure advanced settings. For example, you can choose to check if the Access Manager Plus user who is raising the password access request matches with the 'REQUESTER' column in the ticketing system. Similarly, you can check for certain specific conditions related to the ticket - for instance, 'PRIORITY' of the ticket as 'HIGH'. Access Manager Plus offers the total flexibility to check for any parameter in the ticketing system, including additional fields.

To carry out advanced configurations,

  1. Click More >> Advanced Configuration.

  2. In the GUI that opens, you can carry out advanced configurations. Advanced configurations can be carried out either by means of a readily available configuration setting or by implementing a custom class.

Options in Advanced Configurations

1.Validating if specific columns in Access Manager Plus match with the ones you specify in the ticketing system

    1. To validate if specific columns in Access Manager Plus match with the ones you specify in the ticketing system, you need to select the option "Map Entries in Access Manager Plus Vs Ticketing System".
    2. The column name drop-down lists down the column names as available in Access Manager Plus - Connection Name, Connection Type, Account Name, Access Manager Plus User Name, DNS Name etc. The custom fields created in Access Manager Plus are also included.
    3. Through the criteria column, you can specify what you want to check
    4. The Ticketing System column lists down the fields (including custom fields) available in the ticketing system. You need to choose the field, which you has to be mapped with the corresponding field in Access Manager Plus. For example, you can choose to map CONNECTION NAME in Access Manager Plus with ASSET in the ticketing system. Once you specify such a mapping, before granting access to the password, Access Manager Plus will check if the CONNECTION NAME as specified in Access Manager Plus matches with the ASSET name in the ticketing system. Only if the validation succeeds, access will be granted.

  1. Validating if specific columns in the Ticketing System match with the ones you specify in Access Manager Plus.
    1. Select Map Entries in Ticketing System Vs Access Manager Plus to validate if specific columns in the ticketing system match with the ones you specify in Access Manager Plus.
    2. The Ticketing System column lists the fields (including custom fields) available in the ticketing system. Choose the field that has to be to be mapped with the corresponding field in Access Manager Plus.
    3. Select a Criteria to validate based on conditions such as is, is not, contains, does not contain, starts with or ends with.
    4. The Column Name drop-down lists the column names available in Access Manager Plus such as: Resource Name, Resource Type, Account Name, Access Manager Plus User Name, DNS Name, etc. (including custom fields).
  2. Validating specific conditions related to the ticket in the ticketing system.
    1. To validate if specific conditions related to the ticket are met, you need to select the option 'Conditions to be checked in the ticketing system'. By default Access Manager Plus checks if the ticket STATUS is not in CLOSED state.
    2. You can select any number of additional conditions and Access Manager Plus will validate all of them with the ticketing system. By default, Access Manager Plus lists down all the fields available in the ticketing system, including the custom fields. You can specify the value, which Access Manager Plus has to validate.
  3. Select to Check the value of change ID status associated with the ticket ID and mention the Change ID Status.
  4. Click Save to save changes to the ticketing system configurations.

3.3 Test Ticketing System Configuration Setup

After completing the integration, you can do a testing to ensure if Access Manager Plus is able to establish communication with the ticketing system properly. Click the link "Test Configuration Setup" link under More to do this.

As part of this testing, you can also fetch the custom fields available in Access Manager Plus to the advanced configuration setup.

3.4 Custom Implementation

In case, the advanced configuration does not satisfy your requirements, you can provide your own class implementation and integrate it with Access Manager Plus by updating a jar file with the implemented class. For more details, refer to '' Integrating Other Ticketing Systemssection below. The steps outlined there hold good here too.

4. Ticketing System Validation Enforcement and Exceptions

    1. Once you complete ticketing system integration, it takes immediate effect globally and users will have to produce valid ticket IDs to access passwords. By design, super administrators are exempted from ticket ID enforcement. In addition, as part of access control workflow too, users could be enforced to produce ticket IDs and access can be automatically granted after validating the IDs.
    2. You also have the option to selectively enable/disable ticketing enforcement for select user groups.
      1. Go to Users >> User Groups. Click the Actions drop-down beside the user group name and choose User Group Privileges.
      1. Click the check box beside Allow users to retrieve password without ticket ID and click Save.
      2. You can selectively allow/restrict users for ticketing validation from General Settings using the option Allow users to retrieve password without ticket ID. Click here to learn more about General Settings.
      3. In addition, you can have user group-specific settings too, which can be done from the User Groups tab.

5. Disabling Ticketing System Integration

You can disable the integration with the ticketing system anytime. To disable/remove the integration from Access Manager Plus,

  1. Click the Disable icon to disable the integration.

  2. Note: The integration details will not be removed from Access Manager Plus when the integration is disabled.  You will be able to enable the integration at any given time.

  3. Click Remove to completely remove all the integration details from Access Manager Plus.

    4. Note: To enable ServiceDesk Plus Cloud integration again, you have to generate a new set of Client ID, Client Secret as instructed in this step, and configure ServiceDesk Plus Cloud to Access Manager Plus.

6. Integrating Other Ticketing Systems

If you are using any other ticketing system, you can integrate it with Access Manager Plus by having your own custom implementation. To guide you through the process, we have taken integrating Zendesk as an example to explain the steps involved.

Step 1: Create your implementation class

Refer to the sample implementation class created for integrating Zendesk. The important aspects of the implementation class have been explained below:

Step 2: Generate Authentication Token

The first step is to generate authentication token of the ticketing system to enable Access Manager Plus establish connection. When generating the AUTH TOKEN, ensure that you provide the credentials of an administrator who has full access to the ticketing system. You can do this either by providing the credentials directly in the implementation class or by generating the token and putting the token.

The snippet below shows how to generate Base64 Authstring belonging to a privileged account of the ticketing system. This will come in handy when the REST API is based on Base64 Authorization header. Some ticketing systems offer AUTH-Token with inbuilt GUI. In such cases, you can directly use the authentication parameters. In addition, instead of hard coding username and password in the implementation class, you can very well skip this part and make REST API call with direct Base64 token that are generated through Java or through any online editors.

Refer to the code snippet below:

      // Constructing Authstring from Zendesk login credentials
      String username = "username@example.com"; //Zendesk username
      String password = "zendeskpassword"; //Zendesk password
      Base64 encoder = new Base64();
      byte[] encodedPassword = (username + ":" + password).getBytes();
      byte[] encodedString = encoder.encodeBase64(encodedPassword);
      String authStr = new String(encodedString);


Step 3: Check connection with ticketing system

Using REST APIs, Access Manager Plus can be made to get the information about tickets from the ticketing system. Each ticketing system follows its own procedure to disseminate ticket details. Refer to the respective documentation to identify the procedure. After obtaining the ticket details, you need to validate the details.

Refer to the code snippet below:

      String sUrl = "https://<zendesk-instance>.zendesk.com/api/v2/tickets/"; //REST API call Zendesk
      sUrl = sUrl + ticketId +".json"; //This is the ticket ID that will be validated against the one supplied by the user in Access Manager Plus
      URL url = new URL(sUrl);
      HttpsURLConnection connection = (HttpsURLConnection) url.openConnection();
      connection.setRequestProperty("Authorization","Basic "+authStr); //Setting Authstring in the header


Step 4: Validating if specific columns in Access Manager Plus match with the ones you specify in the ticketing system (optional configuration)

Refer to the code snippet below to validate if specific columns in Access Manager Plus match with the ones you specify in the ticketing system (For example, you can choose to map CONNECTION NAME in Access Manager Plus with the SUBJECT in the ticketing system. Once you specify such a mapping, before granting access to the password, Access Manager Plus will check if the CONNECTION NAME as specified in Access Manager Plus matches with the SUBJECT name (if the subject contains the connection name) in the ticketing system. Only if the validation succeeds, access will be granted):

      String assetName = (String)AMPColumns.get("Connection Name");//AMP Asset Name for which password related operation done
      String subject = (String)ticket.get("subject");//Getting the ticket subject
      boolean descriptionCheck = subject.toLowerCase().contains(assetName.toLowerCase());
      //Checking the description of the ticket contains the connection name of user account


Step 5: Validating specific conditions related to the ticket in the ticketing system (optional configuration)

You can validate if specific conditions related to the ticket are met - by default, Access Manager Plus checks if the ticket STATUS is not in CLOSED state. You can select any number of additional conditions and Access Manager Plus will validate all of them with the ticketing system. By default, Access Manager Plus lists down all the fields available in the ticketing system, including the custom fields. You can specify the value, which Access Manager Plus has to validate.

      JSONObject ticket = (JSONObject)ticketingOuput.get("ticket");
      String status = (String)ticket.get("status");
      boolean statusCheck = "open".equalsIgnoreCase(status); //Checking whether the status of the ticket is in open state


Step 6: Compilation

While compiling keep the following jars in the classpath (the jars are available under <AMP_HOME>\lib folder)
AdventNetPassTrix.jar;
json_simple-1.1.jar;
commons-codec-1.7.jar
For Example,
javac -d . -cp AdventNetPassTrix.jar;json_simple-1.1.jar;commons-codec-1.7.jar ZendeskImpl.java - (For Windows)
javac -d . -cp AdventNetPassTrix.jar:json_simple-1.1.jar:commons-codec-1.7.jar ZendeskImpl.java - (For Linux)

Step 7: Configurations in Access Manager Plus installation

  1. Compile the implemented class files as a single jar and place that jar in AMP_HOME\lib folder.
  2. Restart the Access Manager Plus Service so that Access Manager Plus will make use of the implemented class.
  3. Navigate to Admin >> Session Settings >> Ticketing System Integration.
  4. In the GUI that opens, select the option 'Other' (to integrate any ticketing system) OR the 'Class Implementation' 'Advanced Configuration' of the already integrated ticketing system (if you want to extend the functionality).
  5. Specify the name of your implementation class.
  6. Your implementation has to be approved by another administrator. All other administrators (other than those who made the request) will receive an alert regarding the request for approval.
  7. Once an admin approves the implementation, it will be made available for use.
  8. After enabling, ticketing system workflow will be made mandatory for password retrieval and password reset.
  9. For further information, refer to the sample implementation class created for integrating Zendesk.
