Updating source account attribute via workflow HTTP request

[FaizullahShaik]

Hi All,

We are trying to update attribute value in AD source by using identity attribute change workflow.

So whenever the attribute is changed workflow has to be trigger and update the changed value into attribute of AD source

Kindly assist how should I proceed with this scenario.

Hi @FaizullahShaik,

I think you should consider making use of an attribute sync or an afterModify operation.

Updating source attributes via WF is not possible. If you are trying to use an HTTP operation, you will need to setup some custom API’s that would interact with AD/LDAP.

I would suggest indeed to do this via attribute sync, since that is the way to normally sync your attributes to end systems. I can imagine if the format is different, this can cause issues, but that cannot be solved in this way.

Hi @jesvin90 and @sauvee thanks for you’re reply, actually with the sync its gonna make the changes in all identities which may cause the issue for the existing users who has value in AD (added manually), with after modify and PowerShell script its possible to do it by adding some condition like inclusion or exclusion, I am looking via workflow if its possible or not whenever the identity value is getting changed, for that user only it should effect the change in AD source.

There is no way to do this in a workflow unless you setup a webhook somewhere outside of ISC and perform an http operation towards that. You cannot send provisioning commands towards a connector in that way.
