Adobe User Management
Streamline Adobe account creation and updates with automated provisioning.
Overview
Adobe provides a suite of creative and productivity tools widely used across enterprises. Integrating Adobe with ADManager Plus enables organizations to automate user lifecycle management by synchronizing user accounts between Active Directory (AD) and Adobe’s user management system.
Retrieve user details
Fetch user data from Adobe in real time. This allows IT admins to verify and audit Adobe account information against AD records, ensuring data consistency across systems.
Automated user provisioning
ADManager Plus enables automated creation of Adobe user accounts—whether AdobeID, EnterpriseID, or FederationID—based on changes in AD. By automating user creation, IT teams can streamline onboarding and maintain accurate license assignments without manual intervention.
How to integrate Adobe with ADManager Plus
Prerequisites:
Adobe 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 Adobe. Refer to the Adobe 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 Adobe (outbound action): Ensure the account used for authorization has permission to perform the desired action.
Authorization configuration
- Log in to ADManager Plus and navigate to Directory/Application Settings.
- Go to Application Integrations, then search and select Adobe.
- Toggle the Enable Adobe Integration button on.
- In the Adobe Configuration page, click Authorization.
- Perform steps to generate client_id and client_secret from Adobe, and paste them in the respective value fields.
- Enter Client Credentials as Grant Type
- In the Auth Token URL field replace {orgid} with that of your instance.
- Click Configure.
Inbound webhook configuration
The inbound webhook enables you to get user data from Adobe to ADManager Plus and perform the desired action available in the Automation feature on them. To configure an inbound webhook for Adobe:
- Under Inbound Webhook, click Adobe Endpoint Configuration.
- In the Endpoint Configuration tab, an endpoint, Adobe GET USERS ENDPOINT, comes preconfigured with an Endpoint URL, API Method, Headers, and Parameters fields to fetch user accounts from Adobe. If you would like to use this preconfigured endpoint, replace {orgid} with that of your Adobe 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 Adobe's API references. Click here to learn how. Notes:
- Authorization Header is preconfigured as a header for authenticating API requests as configured during Authorization Configuration.
- You can add macros to your endpoint configuration to dynamically change it as per your requirement using the macro chooser component.
- Refer to Adobe'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. Notes:
- Refer to Adobe's API references to know the Parameters that must be configured to fetch specific parameters.
- You can configure multiple endpoints for Adobe 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 Adobe.
- 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 Adobe.
- If you would like to create a new custom format for this, click Mapping Attribute.
- Click Save.
Outbound webhook configuration
An outbound webhook enables you to send changes made in AD using ADManager Plus to Adobe and carry out tasks in Adobe—all from ADManager Plus. To configure an outbound webhook for Adobe:
- Under Outbound Webhook, click Adobe 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 Adobe'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.
