Practical example - Web Services integration: Frontrange Heat
Implementing a reusable interface between Identity Manager and a 3rd party application provides for an effective and easy way to deliver extended integration. In this example, we use Frontrange Heat, a popular ticketing system, and we describe the few simple steps that are required.
For information on how to configure Heat for Web Services, see my other appnote: Heat and Remedy Integration Using Web Services
The first step is to obtain the WSDL file by pointing at the Heat url, e.g. http://MyHeatServerIP:8080/HEAT_WS.asmx
Then you can create a provisioning request in Designer, using the template with No Approval.
Figure 2: After importing the WSDL into the Integration Activity, you should see this pop-up for the setCall function.
Figure 3: You need to edit the Request Form and add the fields that will feed the setCall input values.
Figure 6: You must configure the server parameters, if they were not included in the WSDL.
Figure 7: If you have configured authentication for the web service, you must provide the credentials.
Figure 8: After importing the WSDL, you will see one function call for setCallSoapIn. You must copy this call and modify the copy to act on setCallSoapIn/setCall, to properly format the XML document sent to Heat.
Figure 10: Once you have the provisioning request working, you can invoke it from Policy Builder for any driver.
Figure 12: It is also possible to invoke the provisioning request from another provisioning request, which together with the Start Workflow action in Policy Builder, provides easy reusability once you have a working provisioning request configured for setCall.
