Update Active Directory in response to User Profile changes

[Peter Bishop]

We would like to reflect changes made in the S-n user profile into Active Directory. I know that the "User Profile" widget performs this activity but is it possible to call a function/workflow/etc. from the widget to reflect these changes in Active Directory?

I'm not looking for a fully-developed solution (unless one already exists) but just a pointer for how this can be achieved or where something similar is documented.

I've seen articles relating to additional fields in the profile widget but nothing quite this specific.

Thanks.

Hi Peter,

If you have an orchestration core licences I would suggest going for the use of a workflow. that would be the easiest way to update an AD object.

does your organisation have other tools for managing AD integration?

One option is to check API possibilities for your AD installation and trigger that using a Business rule ... or Flow designer if you're on Kingston
