Ceridian Dayforce

Ceridian Dayforce is an HR cloud platform that delivers payroll, benefits, workforce, and talent management.

Types of Assets Fetched

This adapter fetches the following types of assets:

• Users
• Managed Identities

Parameters

1. Host Name or IP Address (required) - The hostname or IP address of the Ceridian Dayforce server.

2. Client Namespace (required) - Specify the Client Namespace of the Ceridian Dayforce server.

3. Use the redirect URI to receive the response (default: disabled) - The adapter needs to connect to a version-specific URL to function. When the Ceridian Dayforce cloud application is updated, this URL can change. When the adapter tries to connect to the outdated URL, it receives an error message that includes the new redirect URL.

   • When this option is enabled, the adapter automatically detects the new URL in the error message and uses it to update the Host Name or IP Address field in the adapter's connection. This means that the adapter continues to work without any manual intervention.
   • When this option is disabled, the adapter’s connection breaks whenever the URL changes. To restore connectivity, you must copy the new URL from the error message and update the adapter's connection settings yourself.

4. User Name and Password (required) - The credentials for a user account that has the permissions to fetch assets.

5. Verify SSL - Select whether to verify the SSL certificate of the server against the CA database inside of Axonius. For more details, see SSL Trust & CA Settings.

6. HTTPS Proxy (optional) - A proxy to use when connecting to the value supplied in Host Name or IP Address.

7. HTTPS Proxy User Name (optional) - The user name to use when connecting to the value supplied in Host Name or IP Address via the value supplied in HTTPS Proxy.

8. HTTPS Proxy Password (optional) - The password to use when connecting to the value supplied in Host Name or IP Address via the value supplied in HTTPS Proxy.
