This connector can also be configured to automatically create and update HaloITSM tickets to track manual provisioning assignments. Go to Configure HaloITSM as an external ticketing provider to learn more.

Gather HaloITSM credentials

Each setup method requires you to pass in credentials generated in HaloITSM. Gather these credentials before you move on.

A user with the admin role in HaloITSM must perform this task.

Create a new application

In HaloITSM, navigate to Configuration (the gear icon) > Advanced > Integrations.

Click HaloITSM API.

In the Applications section, click View Applications.

Click New to create a new application.

Fill in the Details tab:

Application Name: Give your integration a meaningful name (e.g., “My External Integration”).
Authentication Method: Select Client ID and Secret (Services). This will allow you to generate the required credentials for a machine-to-machine flow (Client Credentials Grant).
Login Type: Select Agent.
Agent to log in as: Select the specific agent account you want the integration to act as. This agent’s permissions will determine what the integration can do. The agent must have the HaloITSM Administrator role.

HaloITSM will generate the Client ID and Client Secret. Immediately copy and securely store both of these values, especially the Client Secret, as it may only be viewable once.

Define the app’s permissions

Switch to the new application’s Permissions tab.

Select the necessary privileges for your integration:

Permissions for User/Team/Role Management: Agent role or higher
Permissions for Ticketing: User role with Ticket Read permission (for listing ticket schemas and retrieving tickets)

Click Save to finalize the application setup.

Done. Next, move on to the connector configuration instructions.

Configure the HaloITSM connector

To complete this task, you’ll need:

The Connector Administrator or Super Administrator role in C1
Access to the set of HaloITSM credentials generated by following the instructions above

Cloud-hosted
Self-hosted

Follow these instructions to use a built-in, no-code connector hosted by C1.

In C1, navigate to Apps > Connectors and click Add connector.

Search for HaloITSM and click Add.

Choose where to add the connector: Create a new app, or Add to an existing app (then select the app).If you’re creating a new app, choose whether to link it to an application discovered from your identity provider: select Yes and pick the IdP application, or No to continue with just the connector.

Set the connector’s Name and, optionally, a Description.

Click the pencil icon next to Owners to choose who can configure and manage this connector.

Click Add. The connector is created and its configuration page opens.

Find the Settings area of the page and click Edit.

Paste the organization API access token into the Access token field.

Paste the Client ID and Client secret into into the relevant fields.

Optional. If you want to automatically create HaloITSM tickets to track provisioning tasks, click Enable external ticket provisioning. Learn more about external ticketing system integrations.

Click Save.

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

Done. Your HaloITSM connector is now pulling access data into C1.

Follow these instructions to use the HaloITSM connector, hosted and run in your own environment.When running in service mode on Kubernetes, a self-hosted connector maintains an ongoing connection with C1, automatically syncing and uploading data at regular intervals. This data is immediately available in the C1 UI for access reviews and access requests.

GitHub repository: Access the source code, report issues, or contribute to the project.

Step 1: Configure the HaloITSM connector

In C1, navigate to Apps > Connectors and click Add connector.

Search for Baton and click Add.

Set the connector’s Name and, optionally, a Description.

Click the pencil icon next to Owners to choose who can configure and manage this connector.

Click Add. The connector is created and its configuration page opens.

In the Settings area of the page, click Edit.

Click Rotate to generate a new Client ID and Secret.Carefully copy and save these credentials. We’ll use them in Step 2.

Step 2: Create Kubernetes configuration files

Create two Kubernetes manifest files for your HaloITSM connector deployment:

Secrets configuration

# baton-halo-service-desk-secrets.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: baton-halo-service-desk-secrets
type: Opaque
stringData:
  # C1 credentials
  BATON_CLIENT_ID: <C1 client ID>
  BATON_CLIENT_SECRET: <C1 client secret>
  
  # HaloITSM credentials
  BATON_DOMAIN_URL: <URL of your HaloITSM domain, in "https://yourcompany.haloitsm.com" format>
  BATON_USERNAME: <HaloITSM client ID>
  BATON_API_KEY: <HaloITSM client secret>

  # Optional: include if you want C1 to create provisioning tickets in HaloITSM
  BATON_TICKETING: true

See the connector’s README or run --help to see all available configuration flags and environment variables.

Deployment configuration

# baton-halo-service-desk.yaml
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: baton-halo-service-desk
  labels:
    app: baton-halo-service-desk
spec:
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: baton-halo-service-desk
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: baton-halo-service-desk
        baton: true
        baton-app: halo-service-desk
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: baton-halo-service-desk
        image: public.ecr.aws/conductorone/baton-halo-service-desk:latest
        imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
        env:
        - name: BATON_HOST_ID
          value: baton-halo-service-desk
        envFrom:
        - secretRef:
            name: baton-halo-service-desk-secrets

Step 3: Deploy the connector

Create a namespace in which to run C1 connectors (if desired), then apply the secret config and deployment config files.

Check that the connector data uploaded correctly. In C1, click Apps. On the Managed apps tab, locate and click the name of the application you added the HaloITSM connector to. HaloITSM data should be found on the Entitlements and Accounts tabs.

Done. Your HaloITSM connector is now pulling access data into C1.
