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.
