Exchange online (O365) Integration / Compatibility

[Former Member]

Has anyone had any experience with NW IdM 7.2/8 integration with Exchange online (O365)?

We are integrating O365 with a PowerShell script for creating mailboxes / assigning licenses. Not easy to implement, but doable.

It's really just about the only way to do it.

Hi Rufino,

As Matt said - O365 is linked to an AD group, so if you assign the group to the users, that is one way to solve your issue (we did something like that).

As well there is another option, you can use and extend the toCutom pass (pass type - ToShell), then you can call the exchange scripts and enable/disable the user's exchange (we did something like that).

Hi,

One other information I've found is that you can do a bulk upload in O365.

So you can export a CSV file in a predefined by O365 format from IDM and import in O365.

Add several users at the same time to Office 365 - Admin Help - Office 365

This would create users with different passwords which need to be sent to the users.

Further you can continue to configure SAML 2.0 Single Sign-On for users using these guidelines

Hi Rufino,

Most times I have come up against this, O365 access is linked to an Active Directory Group.  Adding a user to this group will take care of the issue, and as Fedya says, there is some work that your AD team does on their side to connect to O365.

Good luck!

Hi Rufino,

As with some other cloud applications we do not have a standard SAP IDM connector Office 365 yet.

We are keeping an eye on this topic together with several others and it depends on the demand, feasibility and viability we will decide whether to implement one.

If you have AD currently Microsoft some means to do this e.g via DirSync.

It would be good if you share a bit more about your case.

Best wishes,
