Set Up Connect Integration

Use the Connect Administration utility to configure Connect to integrate with your Vantagepoint installation.

Prerequisites:
  • To use Connect, the Vantagepoint application must be exposed to the internet via a publicly facing URL. If your network or firewall is configured to only allow certain IP addresses to access Vantagepoint, it will be necessary to add Connect IP addresses to the Allow list. See the Troubleshoot Synchronization and Connect Add-in Issues help topic for the list of IP addresses.
  • The security role for the individual who is responsible for configuring Connect must have access to Connect Administration. In Settings > Security > Roles, on the Overview tab, make sure that Connect Administration is selected under Utilities > Integrations.
  • The individual who is responsible for configuring Connect (selecting the Connect Administration option in Utilities > Integrations), must have an employee record associated with their user record in Settings > Security > Users. The employee record must also have a valid email address.
  • Each employee who will use Connect must have an employee record that includes an email address and is associated with a user record in Settings > Security > Users.
  • Windows authentication for the on-premises application is not supported with Vantagepoint Connect.
  • You must have a Client ID and Secret in API Authorization in Utilities > Integrations. Note: You only need to generate the secret once for all integrations. If you generate a new secret any time thereafter, all current integrations using the old secret will be broken until you refresh your access token for those integrations.

To set up integration configuration:

  1. In the Navigation pane, select Utilities > Integrations > Connect Administration.
  2. On the Connect Administration form, click the Configure Connect button.
  3. On the Vantagepoint login dialog box, enter your Vantagepoint username and password and then click Log In.
    Your record is now provisioned for Connect.
