Prerequisites to Configure the Workday Cloud Connector

The Workday connector uses Workday Web Services. Before you can configure the Workday connector, you must complete the following prerequisites:

  • Obtain the WSDL base URL. To obtain the WSDL base URL for identity management service, see the Workday documentation. When you assign the policy, you will also need the following domains: System Auditing and Workday Account Monitoring. Copy the initial part of the URL, up to the word service. For example: https://services2.myworkday.com/ccx/service.

  • Obtain the tenant name. Copy the tenant name from the Workday URL after logging in to Workday. For example, if the Workday URL is https://impl.workday.com/ourcompany/d/home.html, the tenant name is ourcompany.
