Peopleforce
Keep Peopleforce HR updates reflected in IT accounts without manual effort.
Overview
Integrating PeopleForce with Active Directory through ADManager Plus allows organizations to automate identity management processes by connecting HR updates directly with IT provisioning. This ensures that every employee addition, update, or removal in PeopleForce is reflected accurately and promptly in Active Directory. By eliminating manual steps and syncing HR-driven events with AD, the integration helps accelerate onboarding, maintain up-to-date access rights, and ensure secure, policy-compliant offboarding.
Streamlined onboarding
Automatically provision AD accounts when new hires are added in PeopleForce, with pre-assigned roles and permissions.
Real-time access updates
Reflect team or designation changes instantly in AD to ensure access stays relevant as roles evolve.
Automated offboarding
Disable or remove AD accounts immediately when employees are offboarded in PeopleForce, reducing security risks.

Inbound webhook configuration
Inbound webhook enables you to fetch user data from PeopleForce to ADManager Plus. To configure an inbound webhook for PeopleForce:
- Under Inbound Webhook, click PeopleForce Endpoint Configuration.
- In the Endpoint Configuration tab, an endpoint,
PeopleForce List All Employees ENDPOINT, comes pre-configured
with an Endpoint URL, API Method, Headers, and
Parameters fields to fetch user accounts from
PeopleForce. If you would like to use this pre-configured endpoint,
replace {id} with the domain name of your PeopleForce 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 as per PeopleForce'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: Explain about macros how they can use these to dynamically change the endpoint to meet their requirement.
- Refer to PeopleForce'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 PeopleForce's API references to know the Parameters that must be configured to fetch only specific parameters.

- Click Data Source - LDAP Attribute Mapping to match endpoints and to map AD LDAP attributes with the respective attributes in PeopleForce.[ADManager Plus also lets you customize attribute format from PeopleForce]
- 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 PeopleForce.
- If you would like to create a new custom format for this, click Mapping Attribute.
- Click 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 over 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.
