ManageEngine integration instructions

This article provides instructions on how to integrate ManageEngine to Lifecycle Manager.

The integration of ManageEngine with Lifecycle Manager does not currently support Active Directory (AD) authentication types. If you are using Active Directory (AD) authentication with ManageEngine, you may encounter compatibility issues with this integration.

Currently, our platform supports the local_authentication authentication type. Ensure your ManageEngine setup is configured for local authentication.

If you wish to see support for Active Directory (AD) authentication, navigate to Product Ideas and let us know. The Navigating the Iceberg: Understanding the Product Ideas Process article outlines the product idea submission process..

Prerequisites

  • You must have Administrator user credentials for your ManageEngine account

  • You must have Administrator user credentials for your Lifecycle Manager account or member permissions of Manage Sync Settings selected

  • A ManageEngine Desktop Central account with enough privileges to view the assets you'd like us to cover

  • The on-premise version of ManageEngine

ManageEngine's cloud-hosted version lacks the API access to integrate with Lifecycle Manager. If you would like to see the cloud-hosted version integration supported, navigate to Product Ideas and let us know. The Navigating the Iceberg: Understanding the Product Ideas Process article outlines the product idea submission process.
