Thanks everyone.  We have a meeting with some stake holders Monday afternoon, 
so I should have a better idea at that point as to just what they do and don’t 
want/think we can do.  At this point we don’t have any middleware or anything 
like that, I’d never heard of any of those applications myself.  HR has been 
responsible for entering people into Workday through their web site, then the 
helpdesk creates the person’s AD/email accounts.  I think that’s one of the 
areas they want to automate, once HR creates someone in Workday something 
happens to build out the AD and email accounts, but again I’ll know more next 
week.
Thanks again for the responses.
Ryan

We do federation/SSO with WD using PingFederate (AD FS provides the same 
functionality). Very simple SAML integration compared to some others. As far as 
having the HR system write back to AD directly, we don’t do that. Typically you 
have middleware that will accomplish user provisioning. Things in this space 
(Oracle Identity Manager, Tivoli Identity Manager, and Identity IQ). Depends on 
the size of your organization, and your needs.

Subject: [NTSysADM] has anyone integrated with AD and Workday?

Hi:
        I’ve been asked about linking our on-prem AD domain services with our 
HRIS system, Workday, which is cloud-based.  I’m wondering if anyone has been 
through this process?  From the Googling I’ve done, Workday does support ADFS 
for single signon, which is a good start, but I don’t think ADFS will let 
Workday read and write information to AD objects and let it do things such as 
create user accounts or update information or read user information for its own 
database.  The obvious solution is to give them LDAP read/write access which 
kind of bothers me as I don’t want some 3RD party reading/writing to our AD 
like that.  I’m wondering if there’s an option I’m missing on how this works?
Thanks.
Ryan
