Creating and editing a Workday endpoint

Workday endpoints contain the connection information that studio and the Integration Appliance use to connect to the Workday application. You can create multiple endpoints that refer to separate instances.

About this task

Use this task to create or edit Workday endpoint.
Note:
Any changes you make to Workday endpoint, including configuration properties, affects all the orchestrations that use that endpoint, as the edits are global, not local.

Procedure

  1. Drag an activity from Workday folder in the Activities tab to the Orchestration window. The Summary panel is displayed.
  2. Click Pick Endpoint from the Checklist. The Pick Endpoint panel is displayed.
  3. Click one of the following buttons:
    1. Browse - To select an existing endpoint from Project Explorer. The Project Explorer shows all the endpoints in the project available for the activity. When you select an endpoint, the endpoint properties are displayed in the Pick Endpoint panel.
    2. New - To create a new endpoint. The Create Endpoint window opens.
    3. Edit - To edit the existing endpoint. The Edit Endpoint window opens.
  4. Complete the fields defined in the following table:
    Table 1. Connection Details
    Field Name Description
    Workday
    Domain Name Specifies the domain name of your Workday endpoint. You can either specify the domain name of your choice or use the sandbox domain name given as a watermark reference.
    Tenant Name Specifies the tenant name of your Workday endpoint. You can either specify the tenant name of your choice or use the sandbox tenant name given as a watermark reference.
    Login
    User Name Specifies the user name to connect to the Workday application. You can either specify the user name of your choice or use the user name given as a watermark reference.
    Password Specifies the password associated with the user name to connect to the Workday application. You can either specify the password of your choice or use the password given as a watermark reference.
    Connection Timeout
    Timeout after ........ seconds when establishing a connection to the endpoint Specifies the amount of time in seconds before a timeout occurs between the activity making a request on an Endpoint and the time it takes the Endpoint to respond. The default is 300 seconds.
    Proxy
    Connect via a Proxy Server Allows you to enable the proxy connection details.
    Authentication Allows you to select the type of authentication that the Integration Appliance uses when connecting to a remote server. From the list, select one of the following authentication modes:
    • Basic - Sends the user name and password you specify unencrypted to the server. This authentication schema is the least secure.
    • Digest - Encrypts the user name and password you specify before sending the user name and password to the server. This authentication option is more secure than Basic authentication.
    • NTLM - Requires an instance of NTCredentials to be available for the domain name of the server. This authentication is the most secure authentication option.

      When you choose the NTLM authentication option, the Integration Appliance authenticates a connection and not a request; therefore, the Integration Appliance authenticates every time a new connection is made. The connection must remain open during the authentication process. You cannot use NTLM to authenticate with both a proxy and server.

      Note: Do not prefix the user name with the domain.
    Realm If you select the Basic or Digest authentication option, you can specify a realm. When you do not specify a realm, the activity authenticates to 'any realm'. If you select the NTLM authentication option, you must specify a domain. If you do not specify a domain, the endpoint configuration is not valid and an error occurs.
    Host Name Specifies the host name of the proxy server.
    Port Specifies the port number needed to connect to the proxy server.
    User Name Specifies the user name needed to connect to the proxy server.
    Password Specifies the password needed to connect to the proxy server.
  5. When finished, click Test Connection to confirm that you can connect to Workday application.
  6. Click OK.
