Connect to Ivanti Endpoint Manager

This product only supports the Ivanti Endpoint Manager connector. Other connectors are disabled.

To use a connector for Ivanti Endpoint Manager, create a client secret on the Endpoint Manager server. This process shares a value with the Endpoint Manager identity server to secure the connection.

To create a client secret

1.In the Package Studio toolbar, click Options.

2.In the Options dialog box, select the Ivanti Endpoint Manager tab.

3.Type a word or phrase in the Client Secret text box and click config.

4.In the file browser, select the IdentityServer3.Core.Models.Client.json file and click Open.

Package Studio creates a backup of the json file, saves it to the same directory, and then edits the original json file to contain the Client Secret you provided.

5.Provide the DNS name or IP address of the Endpoint Manager core server, and a username and password. The username should be for a local user and not a domain user.

6.Click Test Connection to verify that the connection is configured correctly.

7.Click Ok to save your changes.
