Cisco Directory Connector

The Cisco Directory Connector is an on-premises Windows service that synchronizes users and groups from a corporate directory (typically Microsoft Active Directory or LDAP) into Cisco Webex Control Hub. It supports full and incremental sync, attribute mapping, dry-run preview, and scheduled jobs. Programmatic management is via the related Webex People, Groups, and Organizations APIs in Control Hub; modern deployments increasingly use SCIM 2.0 provisioning from identity providers (Azure AD, Okta) as an alternative to the on-premises connector.

Cisco Directory Connector publishes 3 APIs on the APIs.io network: Groups API, Organizations API, and People API. Tagged areas include Active Directory, Directory, Enterprise, Identity Management, and LDAP.

The Cisco Directory Connector catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context.

Cisco Directory Connector’s developer surface includes authentication, developer portal, developer console, getting-started guide, engineering blog, support, and 9 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/cisco-directory-connector: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
