DSync or SSO, or both?

Directory Sync

Single Sign-On

Sweet spot

Provisioning Authentication

#auspc #nzspc

SSO Deployment processProcess is not self-service

If you have a SAML 2.0 Identity Provider then configuration is pretty straightforward

Tests happen against your Yammer network at a scheduled time

Provide identity provider metadata

Yammer implements service provider configuration

Create Relying Party Trust with Yammer metadata

Test SSO

Make email address changesActivate SSO

#auspc #nzspc

Deploying Directory Sync

Installs on a single server

No database required

AD and LDAP expertise required to configure custom filters (queries)

First sync sends all data, subsequent syncs are incremental

Install Directory Sync

Connect to Yammer

Connect to AD

Validate user queries

Enable syncs
