Marketo Connector
Important
Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.
The Marketo connector lets you synchronize between IDM managed users and a Marketo leads database. You can synchronize any managed user to Marketo—those who have been added directly to the IDM repository, and those who have registered themselves through a Social Identity Provider.
The Marketo connector is an implementation of the Scripted Groovy Connector, and lets you interact with leads in a Marketo database, using Groovy scripts for the ICF operations.
To use the Marketo connector, you need the following:
A Marketo account
A client ID and client secret
The REST API URL for your IDM service
A custom list created in your Marketo leads database
To obtain these details from Marketo, see the Marketo documentation.
Configure the Marketo Connector
Important
Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.
Create a connector configuration by using the Admin UI:
Select Configure > Connectors > New Connector and select Marketo Connector - 1.5.20.12 as the connector type.
Alternatively, configure the connector with a configuration file.
A sample connector configuration file is provided at
/path/to/openidm/samples/example-configurations/provisioners/provisioner.openicf-marketo.json
. Copy that file to your project'sconf/
directoryAt a minimum, enable the connector and set the instance name, Client ID, Client Secret, and Connector-Managed List.
IDM encrypts the client secret on startup.
This sample connector configuration shows the mandatory properties:
{ "displayName" : "MarketoConnector", "description" : "Connector used to sync users to Marketo leads", "author" : "ForgeRock", "enabled" : true, "connectorRef" : { "bundleName" : "org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.marketo-connector", "bundleVersion" : "[1.5.0.0,1.6.0.0)", "connectorName" : "org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.marketo.MarketoConnector" }, ... "configurationProperties" : { "instance" : "<INSTANCE_FQDN>", "clientId" : "<CLIENT_ID>", "clientSecret" : "<CLIENT_SECRET>", "leadFields" : null, "partitionName" : null, "listName" : "<LEAD_LIST_NAME>", ... }, ... }
- instance
To locate the REST API endpoint URL in Marketo, select Admin > Web Services, scroll down to REST API, and find the endpoint. Use that REST endpoint as the value of the
instance
property in your connector configuration. Remove the protocol and/rest
from the URL. For example, if the endpoint ishttps://some-number.mktorest.com/rest
, the value of theinstance
property must besome-number.mktorest.com
.- clientId
Locate the client ID in the details of your Marketo service
LaunchPoint
.- clientSecret
Locate the client secret in the details of your Marketo service
LaunchPoint
.- listName
The name of the custom list created in your Marketo Leads database.
For details of all the configuration properties, see "Marketo Connector Configuration".
When the connector is configured correctly, you can test its status by running the following command:
curl \ --header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \ --header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \ --header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \ --request POST \ "http://localhost:8080/openidm/system?_action=test"
[ { "name": "marketo", "enabled": true, "config": "config/provisioner.openicf/marketo", "objectTypes": [ "__ALL__", "account" ], "connectorRef": { "bundleName": "org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.marketo-connector", "connectorName": "org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.marketo.MarketoConnector", "bundleVersion": "[1.5.0.0,1.6.0.0)" }, "displayName": "Marketo Connector", "ok": true } ]
A status of
"ok": true
indicates that the connector can reach your Marketo database.
Reconcile Users With a Marketo Leads Database
Important
Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.
The Marketo connector lets you reconcile IDM users (including managed users and users who have registered through a social identity provider) with a Marketo leads database. To set up reconciliation to a Marketo database, copy the following sample mapping file to your project's conf
directory:
/path/to/openidm/samples/example-configurations/marketo/sync.json
This file sets up a mapping from the managed user repository to Marketo user accounts. The file includes transformations for user accounts registered through Facebook and LinkedIn. You can use these transformations as a basis for transformations from other social identity providers.
If you have an existing mapping configuration, add the content of this sample sync.json
to your existing mapping.
The sample mapping restricts reconciliation to users who have accepted the marketing preferences with the following validSource
script:
"validSource" : { "type" : "text/javascript", "globals" : { "preferences" : [ "marketing" ] }, "file" : "ui/preferenceCheck.js" }
When a user registers with IDM, they can choose to accept this condition. As a regular user, they can also select (or deselect) the condition in the End User UI by logging into IDM at http://localhost:8080/
, and selecting Preferences.
If a user deselects the marketing preference after their account has been reconciled to Marketo, the next reconciliation run will remove the account from the Marketo database.
For more information on how preferences work in a mapping, see "Configure User Preferences".
Implementation Specifics
Important
Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.
For PATCH requests, a connector can potentially add, remove, or replace an attribute value. The Marketo connector does not implement the add or remove operations, so a PATCH request always replaces the entire attribute value with the new value.
OpenICF Interfaces Implemented by the Marketo Connector
The Marketo Connector implements the following OpenICF interfaces.
- Authenticate
Provides simple authentication with two parameters, presumed to be a user name and password.
- Create
Creates an object and its
uid
.- Delete
Deletes an object, referenced by its
uid
.- Resolve Username
Resolves an object by its username and returns the
uid
of the object.- Schema
Describes the object types, operations, and options that the connector supports.
- Script on Connector
Enables an application to run a script in the context of the connector. Any script that runs on the connector has the following characteristics:
The script runs in the same execution environment as the connector and has access to all the classes to which the connector has access.
The script has access to a
connector
variable that is equivalent to an initialized instance of the connector. At a minimum, the script can access the connector configuration.The script has access to any script-arguments passed in by the application.
- Script on Resource
Runs a script on the target resource that is managed by this connector.
- Search
Searches the target resource for all objects that match the specified object class and filter.
- Sync
Polls the target resource for synchronization events, that is, native changes to objects on the target resource.
- Test
Tests the connector configuration. Testing a configuration checks all elements of the environment that are referred to by the configuration are available. For example, the connector might make a physical connection to a host that is specified in the configuration to verify that it exists and that the credentials that are specified in the configuration are valid.
This operation might need to connect to a resource, and, as such, might take some time. Do not invoke this operation too often, such as before every provisioning operation. The test operation is not intended to check that the connector is alive (that is, that its physical connection to the resource has not timed out).
You can invoke the test operation before a connector configuration has been validated.
- Update
Updates (modifies or replaces) objects on a target resource.
