Gather Dayforce credentials

Each setup method requires you to pass in credentials for Dayforce. Gather these credentials before you move on.

Here’s the set of credentials you’ll need when setting up the connector:

  • Username and password for your account or for a service account
  • Dayforce tenant URL
  • Dayforce client namespace

That’s it! Next, move on to the instructions for your chosen setup method.

Set up a Dayforce cloud-hosted connector

To complete this task, you’ll need:

  • The Connector Administrator or Super Administrator role in ConductorOne
  • Access to the set of Dayforce credentials generated by following the instructions above
  1. In ConductorOne, click Connectors > Add connector.

  2. Search for Dayforce and click Add.

  3. Choose how to set up the new Dayforce connector:

    • Add the connector to a currently unmanaged app (select from the list of apps that were discovered in your identity, SSO, or federation provider that aren’t yet managed with ConductorOne)

    • Add the connector to a managed app (select from the list of existing managed apps)

    • Create a new managed app

  4. Set the owner for this connector. You can manage the connector yourself, or choose someone else from the list of ConductorOne users. Setting multiple owners is allowed.

    If you choose someone else, ConductorOne will notify the new connector owner by email that their help is needed to complete the setup process.

  5. Click Next.

  6. Find the Settings area of the page and click Edit.

  7. In the Username and Password fields, enter your Dayforce credentials, or those for a service account you’ve created for this integration.

  8. Use the Environment dropdown to select the correct environment: Production, Testing, or Configuration.

  9. Enter the full URL of your Dayforce tenant in the Dayforce URL field.

  10. Enter the Dayforce client namespace in the Client Namespace field.

  11. Click Save.

  12. The connector’s label changes to Syncing, followed by Connected. You can view the logs to ensure that information is syncing.

That’s it! Your Dayforce connector is now pulling access data into ConductorOne.

Set up a Dayforce cloud-hosted connector using Terraform

As an alternative to the cloud-hosted setup process described above, you can use Terraform to configure the integration between Dayforce and ConductorOne.

See the ConductorOne Dayforce integration resource page in the ConductorOne Terraform registry for example usage and the full list of required and optional parameters.
