NetWeaver IdM 8.0 connection to Exchange 2013 in the cloud

[Former Member]

Hello,

We are implementing IdM 8.0 where the original scope included provisioning accounts to Exchange 2010.  However, a parallel project migrating from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013 in the cloud is now occurring at the same time as the IdM implementation.  Does anyone know if IdM (even in 7.2) was able to connect to and provision exchange accounts to Exchange 2013?  The documentation I've located only discusses Exchange 2007 and 2010.

Thanks!

Brendan

Hi Brendan,

It seems that our DEV team haven't tested the direct integration with 2013.

I spoke with a colleague that is using 2013 but with inderect integration. That means that they have connected the IDM to the Active Directory and then there is a script that does the rest.

We will plan to test the direct integration but currently we are overbooked with development tasks.

Thanks again Todor - I'll check back in later this year to see if any development work has been done around integration with Exchange 2013.  Appreciate the response

Hi Brendan,

I don't think it is supported. At least we haven't tested it. It is supposed to be working but we could run some tests to verify that.

It would be interesting to see if there are any issues.

Thanks for the quick response Todor.  We are still in the early stages - trying to estimate the confidence level of integrating with Exchange 2013 online/in the cloud.  Sounds like it is possible but untested.  Do you think it's worth the time and resources to validate if connecting and provisioning would work in this scenario? (IdM 8.0 to Exchange 2013 in the cloud)

Thanks for the help!

Hi Brendan,

Of course it is worthed! From our side you mean right? Tomorrow I will check with the colleagues if someone had tested it and if not we will see what will be the effort for a fast validation.

Will get back to you promptly.
