This guide provides everything you need to know about UNIFYConnect’s integration with Aurion.

Solution Objectives

  • Creating and disabling corporate directory accounts based on Aurion HR data.
  • Keeping account attributes up to date.
  • Maintaining Manager and Direct Reports relationships.

Compatibility

UNIFYConnect/Aurion is compatible with:

  • Aurion v10.1.2.04 MR1 or later
  • Microsoft Entra ID, Active Directory, and other supported IDAM platforms

Connectivity

Aurion Connectivity

The UNIFYConnect/Aurion connector uses Aurion APIs. UNIFYConnect will require a Security User in Aurion to access the APIs. The checklist below outlines the required permissions.

Reading information from Aurion is done via Aurion queries, with a standard query provided for most implementations. UNIFYConnect uses the QUERY functions in the Aurion API to retrieve data.

To update Employee and Security Users, the API methods for updating and creating records are used. Writable fields are limited to what the API allows.

Find out more at our UNIFYConnect/Aurion documentation.

Microsoft Entra ID & Active Directory

  • Microsoft Entra ID: UNIFYConnect communicates via the Microsoft Graph API.
  • Active Directory: UNIFYConnect uses LDAP over SSL (LDAPS) for secure communication.

Other IDAM Integrations

UNIFYConnect is not limited to Microsoft Entra ID or Active Directory. Additional IDAM integrations are available.

Secure Networking

  • TLS 1.3 or higher connections are preferred.
  • On-premises connectivity:
    • UNIFYConnect Agent: A secure, firewalled agent for private networks.
