Lucidchart Provisioner

Configure provisioning

About this task

To configure a connection for outbound provisioning to Lucidchart, follow the instructions in this section.

Outbound provisioning details are managed within an SP connection. You can configure outbound provisioning with or without Browser SSO, WS-Trust STS, or both when you create a new SP connection. You can also add outbound provisioning to an existing SP connection.

Steps

  1. In the PingFederate administrator console, configure the data store that PingFederate will use as the source of user data. For instructions, see Datastores in the PingFederate documentation.

    • When targeting users and groups for provisioning, exclude the user account that you will use to administer users in your connection to Lucidchart. This prevents the PingFederate provisioning engine from interfering with the account that provisions users and groups.

  2. Create a new SP connection or select an existing SP connection from the SP Configuration menu.

  3. On the Connection Template screen, select Use a template for this connection and choose Lucidchart Connector from the Connection Template drop-down list. When asked during the connection configuration steps, import the lucidchart-saml-metadata.xml packaged with this connector.

    If this selection is not available, verify the connector installation and restart PingFederate.

  4. On the Connection Type screen, ensure the Outbound Provisioning checkbox is selected, and the Browser SSO Profiles checkbox is cleared (if appropriate).

  5. On the General Info screen, the default values are taken from the metadata file you selected in step 2. We recommend using the metadata default values.

  6. Follow the connection wizard to configure the connection.

  7. On the Outbound Provisioning screen, click Configure Provisioning.

  8. On the Target screen, enter the values for each field as required by the Lucidchart Connector.

    Remove User Action

    Select a deprovision method (Disable or Delete). Deprovisioning is triggered when previously provisioned users no longer meet the condition set in the Source Location screen, or when a user has been suspended or deleted from the data store. This option is only applicable if User Disable / Delete is set to True.

    Disable (default) – Deactivates the user account in Lucidchart (also known as a soft delete).

    Delete – Removes the user account in Lucidchart (also known as a hard delete).
