Yammer Standalone Single Sign-On (SSO)Independent from O365 and Azure AD.The original SSO solution since before Microsoft acquired Yammer.Still needed in many customer environments, even when O365 with SSO in place.

Supports SAML 1.1 and SAML 2.0 Identity Providers.Email address, not UPN, is the unique identifier.Works with on-premises ADFS.Works with Azure AD as Identity Provider.Yammer Directory Sync does NOT work with Azure AD, only with on premise AD.http://blogs.technet.com/b/speschka/archive/2014/01/08/using-azure-active-directory-for-single-sign-on-with-yammer.aspx

Not self-service: requires Yammer Customer Support

Yammer Standalone Single Sign-On (SSO)Deployment

Provide identity provider metadata

Yammer Customer Support activates SSO

Yammer Directory SyncEntirely separate app from O365 Directory Sync.Syncs users, but does not sync security groups.Intended to easily onboard maximum number of users in a companyNot a moderation tool – it will not prevent users from accessing Yammer!

Adds and Invitations

Custom invite and welcome emails

Yammer Directory SyncCore Functions

Suspensions

Suspend users when they are disabled or deleted in AD

Profile Updates

Prepopulate user profile fields

Overwrite upon update to AD

Installs on a single server.No database required.AD and LDAP expertise required to configure custom filters (queries).First sync sends all data, subsequent syncs are incremental, only for newly added or changed users.

Yammer Directory SyncDeployment

Install Directory Sync

Connect to Yammer

Connect to AD

Validate user queries

Enable syncs

Keep these simple.Filters are automatically added for objectCategory and objectClass.Difficult to exclude users - avoid filters with custom attributes, Distribution Groups, and Security Groups

Yammer Directory SyncLDAP Queries

// A good startmail=*@contoso.com

// Multiple domains, merged network(&(mail=*@contoso.com)(mail=*@contoso.co.uk))

// Redundant query(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(mail=*))

// Not what you expect! Don’t do this!(&(mail=*@contoso.com)(customAttribute=true))

Create a query for each OU with a GUID identifier.Specify an LDAP filter.Provide a naming context for each OU.Set ShowDeleted to false.

Yammer Directory SyncMultiple OUs

"Queries": [ { "Id": "a92b0946-5ea9-42c3-9541-736863f39d29", "Filter": "mail=*@consoso.com", "OverrideRootNamingContext": "OU=France,DC=contoso,DC=com", "ShowDeleted": false }, { "Id": "6bb94cbb-f9bb-46ab-a78b-58eae0f23836", "Filter": "mail=*@contoso.com", "OverrideRootNamingContext": "OU=Germany,DC=contoso,DC=com", "ShowDeleted": false }, { "Id": "33bf59b3-ecfe-41cb-899f-7d85e1eb0dee", "Filter": "", "OverrideRootNamingContext": "<WKGUID=xxxxxxx,DC=contoso,DC=com>", "ShowDeleted": true }]

ou=legal,DC=contoso,DC=com

Moving user out of monitored OU does NOT remove user from Yammer; user is no longer monitored at all.In this example, User still has access to Yammer.

Yammer Directory SyncCommon Mistakes

ou=sales,DC=contoso,DC=com

Monitored by Directory Sync

Not Monitored by Directory Sync

Changing value of monitored attributes does NOT remove user from Yammer; user is no longer monitored at all.If custom attribute yammerUser set to false, user still has access to Yammer.Same problem with Distribution Groups and Security Groups.

Yammer Directory SyncCommon Mistakes

(&(mail=*@contoso.com)(yammerUser=true))

Yammer front end integration

New in SharePoint 2013 – service pack 1SharePoint SP1 brings new integration optionsNew applet to manage O365 integrationCentrally manage the integration of YammerOnce activated:

“Newsfeed” in the top nav bar is replaced with “Yammer”“All Company” newsfeed is removed from My Site hostWhen you click on it you will need to log into Yammer (o365 user mapping does not apply)It does not add the Yammer app to your farmIt does not do anything to team site feeds

Open Graph API OverviewWhat is Yammer’s Open Graph API?Open Graph is a light weight protocol that facilitates integrating data from different social apps into what we call the social graph.Yammer's Open Graph API allows developers to write activity from their app into Yammer.

Yammer’s Open Graph API AllowsRich metadata around an object identified by a URL.Discussion mirroring between an application and Yammer through comment feeds.Aggregation of all conversations around an object in Yammer.

Examples of Uses for Yammer’s Open Graph APIIn a customer relationship management (CRM) app, a sales rep updates an opportunity’s probability of closing to a lower number.In a scheduling app, an employee creates a lunch meeting.

Open Graph Activities

Format<Actor> <Action> <Object> on <App Name>: <Message>
