Scenario 2: Integrate with Ivanti Automation
If you want to configure services to create for example Active Directory user accounts or to install software, you can use Ivanti Automation Run Books in these services to automate these processes. In this scenario, you will create a new service based on an Automation Run Book. This requires a functional Ivanti Automation environment.

- Template and Properties step:
Upon completion of the Ivanti Identity Director Wizard, you can choose to launch the Identity Director Management Portal. This option is only available if you installed the Identity Director Management Portal on the same device as the Automation Console.
When the new service is created in Identity Director:
- Its delivery workflow contains as first action a Provide Information action, if any Run Book parameter asks for input. As last action, it contains an Invoke Run Book action with the selected Run Book.
- Service attributes will be automatically created and linked to the Run Book parameters (if any).
- An exception handler will be added with an End Workflow action "Failed to deliver".
- The service will be disabled by default, which allows you to fine-tune it before you make it available in the Identity Director environment.
- Start a web browser and browse to the Web Portal website (e.g. https://identitydirector.example.com).
- Sign in as Amanda Cavendish.
- In the Web Portal, click My Store.
- Click the tile of the service that you just created.
- Click Add to cart and then Request.
- When asked, provide the necessary information and click OK.
- After a moment the service is delivered and an Automation message is shown with the values that you specified when you requested the service. This means that the Run Book was successfully executed.
