What Oleria discovers
User accounts and profile attributes synced from SolarWinds’s directory. Oleria uses this data for dormant account detection and access reviews, refreshed on SolarWinds’s standard sync schedule.Prerequisites
- Admin access in SolarWinds with permission to enable API access and create a service account.
- Admin access on the Oleria platform to add a new integration.
The exact location of these settings can change over time. If the steps below don’t match what you see, refer to SolarWinds’s own Orion API documentation.
Get your SCIM credentials from SolarWinds
1
Enable API access and create a service account in SolarWinds
Sign in to SolarWinds as an admin, go to Settings → All Settings → Orion API, enable API access, and create a read-only service account.
2
Copy your SCIM Base URL and Authentication token
Copy both values before you leave the page - you’ll paste them into Oleria in the next section:
- SCIM Base URL - the HTTPS API endpoint for your SolarWinds instance.
- Authentication token - the credential issued for the read-only service account.
Copy the credential now. Many applications display it only once. Store it securely and rotate it per your organization’s security policy.
Connect SolarWinds to Oleria
1
Open the integration
Go to your Oleria workspace, select Integrations, then select the SolarWinds tile.
2
Complete the connection form
Select Continue and fill in the connection form:
3
Save the integration
Select Connect to validate the credentials and save the integration.
Verify the integration
Confirm the new instance appears in your Oleria workspace under Connected Integrations with a status of Healthy. Oleria syncs users from SolarWinds on the standard SCIM provisioning schedule once the initial sync completes.If SolarWinds rotates your credential, update the Authentication token in Oleria by editing the integration.
Governance actions
Oleria can also invoke lifecycle actions in SolarWinds when the credential you provide has write access:- Enable or disable a user account
- Create a new user
Many teams start with a read-only credential for visibility, then grant write access once they’re ready to automate remediation in SolarWinds.
