  • 1.  Verify SaaS and HR onboarding integration using webservice/wsdl

    Posted Fri October 31, 2025 05:03 PM

    Hi all,

    To leverage an existing application that performs employee onboarding via SOAP/WSDL in a legacy IAM solution, is it possible to create SOAP integrations in Verify SaaS for employee onboarding to avoid modifying the existing application?

    Regareds,

    Rodrigo

    No - ISV SaaS is not providing SOAP interfaces.

    Hi Rodrigo,

    IBM Verify Directory Integrator, IVDI, (a.k.a. TDI) is an "enabling software" component of Verify SaaS. Meaning: you're allowed to use it a no cost in the context of a Verify SaaS deployment. See the Terms.

    My 2 cents: with IVDI "Axis2 Web Service Server Connector" you'll have a WSDL service that could emulate your legacy IAM solution. Of course you would need to add logic to the IVDI assemblyline to call out to Verify SaaS to manage users in the Cloud Directory. Here's the link to the connector: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/svdi/10.0.0?topic=connectors-axis2-web-service-server-connector

    Please carefully read that documentation, especially the limitations, so see if it fit your needs.

    Cheers - Peter.

    Hi Peter,

    Still on the same topic of webservices/SOAP interfaces, what if I needed to do the opposite - provision accounts and access through Verify SaaS into a system that only exposes a SOAP interface? Does ISV SaaS have a native connector for that? How can this requirement be met?

    Regards,

    Rodrigo

    You can build a custom adapter for such a service. 

    Building a custom adapter is requires some knowledge and experience - so my recommendation would be to either use assistance from IBM Expert Labs professional services or a business partner that has experience in the area. Especially SOAP based adapters requires some experience in how SDI/IVIDI works with XML and how to wrap the calls.
