Rest Based Provider

Overview

The Work 365 Rest Provider allows building of custom provisioning engines and for integrations with providers which Work 365 does not support natively.

The Rest Provider needs to be paired with a corresponding REST based API. The API should be built to the Work 365 Rest Provider specification and acts as a bridge between the custom provider and Work 365.

The RestProvider provides a hook for Work 365 to call the custom API which in turn drives the custom provisioning integration.

A starter ASP.net MVC (C#) project is available for the RestProvider API development and is provided upon request. Reach out to your account manager for assistance.
