Setup Guide

Follow these steps to connect ADP to your CData Connect Cloud account:

  1. Open the Connections page of the CData Connect Cloud dashboard.

  2. Click + Add Connection in the upper-right corner.

  3. Type ADP into the search field, then click the data source name.

  4. On the Basic Settings tab of the new connection, enter a connection name or keep the default name.

  5. The Callback URL, or Redirect URL, is the URL you need (https://oauth.cdata.com/oauth/) when setting up your OAuth app. Copy this URL and paste it into your OAuth app.

  6. Enter the following information in CData Connect Cloud:

    • OAuth Client Id—the client Id assigned when you register your ADP account for OAuth.

    • OAuth Client Secret—the client secret assigned when you register your ADP account for OAuth.

    • SSL Client Cert—open the .pem file you downloaded from the ADP Developer Self Service Portal, and then copy and paste the contents of the file here.

    • SSL Client Cert Password—(optional) the password for the Client Cert, if it is encrypted. If it is not password-protected, leave this field blank.

  7. Set the Use UAT field according to your ADP configuration.

  8. At the top of the CData Connect Cloud Add ADP Connection page, click Save & Test.

    • If the connection test succeeds, a message indicates that your connection has been created.
