AD Manager Plus to JSM Assets

Ref: https://www.manageengine.com/products/ad-manager/active-directory-api/

We support RestAPI/SearchUser API to pull user info from ManageEngine AD to JSM Assets.

You need the “Auth Token” to set this connection. Choose “All Other Asset Sources” and ManageEngine AD to add this connection. URL should be the base URL of your AD Manager Plus API endpoint.

Once connection is established, please review instructions here to get started with setting up an Assets import configuration. You can then access OnLink app from the “Manage your apps” menu to further configure and set the field level mapping. Here’s an example mapping configuration:

key:OBJECT_GUID=id map:DISPLAY_NAME=Full Name map:EMAIL_ADDRESS=Email map:LOGON_NAME=Logon User

Here’s a breakdown of some of the mapping configuration items:

Key or Map

Description

Key or Map

Description

key:OBJECT_GUID=id

The keyword “key” refers to using id as a unique identifier. This allows OnLink to update the record. “id” is a text attribute.

map:DISPLAY_NAME=Full Name

Maps Display Name to Full Name text attribute

map:EMAIL_ADDRESS=Email

Maps EMAIL_ADDRESS to Email attribute

map:LOGON_NAME=Logon User

Maps LOGON_NAME to Logon user attribute

config:domainName

Set this to the Domain in which the search has to be performed.

config:filter

Set filter attributes e.g
config:filter=(givenName:contains:john)

config:api

By default the RestAPI/SearchUser API is used as the data source. Set config:api to other data sources e.g. config:api=RestAPI/SearchComputer

Once connection is established, you can use Fetch API Sample to get user data and complete the mapping.

OnLink processes data in two steps - Get Data and Import Data. To manually test, you can click on Get Data first and then wait until you see “No more pending records. Data will be imported on next Import run.” message in Job Logs. Then, click on Import. Production runs are fully automated based on the schedule you choose.
