Creating SailPoint IdentityNow Source Configuration Backups and HTML Reports with PowerShell

25th of October, 2018 / / No Comments

In this post from earlier in the week I detailed leveraging the SailPoint IdentityNow APIs to retrieve IdentityNow Sources, and their configuration. This post takes that a little further, backing up the configuration and also creating a friendly HTML Report with each Sources’ Configuration and Schema. The resulting HTML Report that is dynamically created reports on all Sources in an IdentityNow Tenant Org and looks like the image below.  Sample Report.PNG

After selecting a Source you can then expand a report section for the Source Details and another for the Schema. … [Keep reading] “Creating SailPoint IdentityNow Source Configuration Backups and HTML Reports with PowerShell”

Update: Oct 2019. IdentityNow Sources can be easily managed using the SailPoint IdentityNow PowerShell Module.

Back again with another post in my series detailing accessing SailPoint IdentityNow via the API using the unpublished and undocumented APIs. Previous posts detail;

This post also assumes you are able to access the IdentityNow APIs as detailed in this post here.… [Keep reading] “Managing SailPoint IdentityNow Sources via the API with PowerShell”

Azure Active Directory B2B Pending and Accepted User Reports

21st of October, 2018 / / 1 Comment

One of the benefits of Cloud Services is the continual enhancements that vendors provide based on feedback from their customers. One such item of feedback that Microsoft has heard often is the request to know what state a Guest user in Azure AD is in. In the last couple of days Microsoft exposed two additional attributes on the User objectClass in Azure AD;

  • externalUserState
  • externalUserStateChangeDateTime

This means we can now query the Microsoft Graph for B2B users and understand if they have Accepted or are PendingAcceptance, and the datetime of the last change.… [Keep reading] “Azure Active Directory B2B Pending and Accepted User Reports”

Managing SailPoint IdentityNow Applications via API with PowerShell

19th of October, 2018 / / No Comments 
Update: Oct 2019. Managing IdentityNow Applications is now easier using the SailPoint IdentityNow PowerShell Module.

The SailPoint IdentityNow Request Center comes pre-populated with 130 Applications (as shown below) that by default are visible to users in the Dashboard and can be requested via the Request Center. Whilst this is great the majority are not often applicable and you need to configure each individual application to remove visibility and requestablity. You could of course ask your IdentityNow Support representative to do this for you, or you could manage it yourself.… [Keep reading] “Managing SailPoint IdentityNow Applications via API with PowerShell”

WorkdayAPI PowerShell Module

Obtaining Workday HR Supervisory Hierarchy, Provisioning Flags and Photos with PowerShell

18th of October, 2018 / / No Comments

A few weeks back I posted this regarding using PowerShell and the Granfeldt PowerShell Management Agent to interface Microsoft Identity Manager with Workday HR. The core of this functionality is the WorkdayAPI PowerShell Module which I forked from Nathan and added additional functionality.

New WorkdayAPI PowerShell Module Cmdlets

This post details additional functionality I’ve added to the WorkdayAPI PowerShell Module. Updates include the following additional cmdlets;

Get-WorkdayWorkerProvData

Implementations of Workday obviously vary from organisation to organisation.… [Keep reading] “Obtaining Workday HR Supervisory Hierarchy, Provisioning Flags and Photos with PowerShell”

Managing SailPoint IdentityNow Roles via API and PowerShell

11th of October, 2018 / / No Comments 
Update: Oct 2019. IdentityNow Roles can be easily managed using the SailPoint IdentityNow PowerShell Module.

Managing SailPoint IdentityNow Role Groups typically involves leveraging the SailPoint IdentityNow Portal for the creation and on-going management. That’s because the API for Roles is not published or documented.

What happens then if you have many to create, update/manage? How does the IdentityNow Portal use the non-published undocumented API’s to create and manage them? I’ve worked it out and am documenting it here in the interim until the API’s get versioned and published.… [Keep reading] “Managing SailPoint IdentityNow Roles via API and PowerShell”

Managing SailPoint IdentityNow Governance Groups via the API with PowerShell

9th of October, 2018 / / No Comments 
Update: Oct 2019. Governance Groups can be easily managed using the SailPoint IdentityNow PowerShell Module.

In this post I detail the management of SailPoint IdentityNow Governance Groups using the IdentityNow v2 API as the functions associated with Governance Groups is not currently detailed in the v2 API Documentation here (9 Oct 2018).

In order to interact with the v2 API you will need to use Basic Authentication which I detail in this post here.… [Keep reading] “Managing SailPoint IdentityNow Governance Groups via the API with PowerShell”

Leveraging v1, v2 and non-Published SailPoint IdentityNow API’s with PowerShell

5th of October, 2018 / / No Comments 
Update: Oct 2019. Leveraging the SailPoint IdentityNow API's is now easier using the SailPoint IdentityNow PowerShell Module.
UPDATE: 18 Dec 2018 Please see this new post on 
accessing v3 / non-published SailPoint 
IdentityNow API's using PowerShell.
The details in this post will still work for v1 
& v2 API's.

This post supersedes (see above) my previous posts on leveraging the IdentityNow API’s in relation to API Authentication/Authorization;

Using this Compass document as my guide (which takes a bit of finding) I’ve automated the process of being able to use PowerShell to leverage the non versioned/published API’s.… [Keep reading] “Leveraging v1, v2 and non-Published SailPoint IdentityNow API’s with PowerShell”

Querying for updates/changes in Workday HR using PowerShell

2nd of October, 2018 / / No Comments

Nathan Hartley has an awesome PowerShell Module for Workday that you can find here. I detailed how I’m using that module in this post here Building a Microsoft Identity Manager PowerShell Management Agent for Workday HR.

A large portion of that post detailed the nuances of working with the Worday API especially for implementations at scale. Those are constraints I have. Specifically I was looking for a couple more functions;

  • Changes since the last time I queried the API
  • Changes including those who are now Inactive workers*
  • in the summary PowerShell Object return Hire Date, Start Date, Active Status and Supplier

Not wanting to re-invent the wheel I forked Nathan’s Project and added those enhancements.… [Keep reading] “Querying for updates/changes in Workday HR using PowerShell”

Azure Sphere – Initial Setup, Configuration and First Impressions

29th of September, 2018 / / No Comments

In April this year, Microsoft announced Azure Sphere. This was the same week as I’d be preparing for a presentation I was giving on Azure IoT at the Sydney location for the Global Azure Bootcamp. When pre-orders became available from Seeed Studio I naturally signed up as I’ve previously bought many IoT related pieces of hardware from Seeed Studio.

Fast forward to this week and the Azure Sphere MT3620 device shipped. It’s a long weekend here in Sydney Australia and delivery wasn’t due until after the long weekend, but by some miracle the packaged was delivered on the Friday by DHL after only leaving China 3-4 days earlier.… [Keep reading] “Azure Sphere – Initial Setup, Configuration and First Impressions”
