User Management Resource Administrator
2003 Active Directory Management and LDAP Solution

Automation (Command Line Interface and COM API)

The new "Automation" module enables organizations to link the Active Directory to information systems supplying information on Active Directory mutations. This data link can be established by using COM (VBA, VB, ASP, etc) or a Command Line Interface. A popular example is linking to a HR-system where employees leaving the company are automatically disabled in Active Directory.

80% of the Active Directory mutations performed by a network administrator have already been processed in another information system, such as HR, Student Information Systems, Workflow Management, helpdesk, e-mail, etc.

Imagine the benefit of automating these Active Directory mutations, without intervention from helpdesk or network management. An example scenario is: " an employee leaves the company, the mutation gets processed in the HR-system and will then be automatically processed in the Active Directory". This ensures that former employees do not gain access to the company network.

The User Management Resource Administrator - Automation module comes with a full COM exposed API and command line interface, which enables every link possible. The steps required to create a link are:

• Create a User Management Resource Administrator project and define which actions should be processed on your Active Directory and resources.
• Specify the input variables, such as firstname, lastname or department.
• Use the COM API to execute the User Management Resource Administrator project using your input variables.
• Schedule your custom code or make it dependent on database changes to finalize the link.

Standard support for this module comes with free assistance on developing links. The User Management Resource Administrator - Automation module ships with a set of examples and documentation to help you in building links.

Example VB code:

The below code is an indication of the usage of the new COM API in Visual Basic. As you can see, the code connects to a running UMRA service, executes a project using input variables and retrieves an output parameter which is the result of the executed project.
