      1 Provide PROD server details

      Provide the following server details to the Dooap team:

      • Name of the local domain
      • Name of the AX2012 PROD AOS server (And port number, if multiple AOS instances on the same server)
      • Kernel version and Application version
      		 X  
      1.1

      Create user to AX2012 PROD for Dooap integration

      Account: “Dooap PROD integration account”

      • For example: “LocalAXdomain\dooap-prod”
      • Maximum length of the username is 20 characters
      •  Access must be to all legal entities
      • Language must be set to En-US
      • Password cannot expire
        • That would stop Dooap --> AX2012 integration.

      4.1 Configure the PROD Integration Account

      		 X  
      4.2 Link users to Entra accounts

      Since AX2012 is not in the cloud, a separate manual linking between AX users and their Entra accounts is needed.

      All users (the integration user, end users & Dooap consultants) are required to be linked to their Entra accounts via the Dooap users function.

      • An alternative approach regarding the integration user and Dooap consultants is to create new Entra users (step 4.2).

      (4.3)

      Create users to AAD

      (optional)

      If steps 4 and 4.1 are followed correctly, there is no need to create new Entra users.

      However, if preferred, instead of linking the Dooap consultants and Dooap integration user in step 4.1, you can create new users in Entra ID for the Dooap consultants and Dooap integration user.

      Once the accounts are created, please securely send the user account credentials to the Dooap team.

      5 Consent

      Dooap team provides the consent wizard link to Customer.

      		   X
      5.1 Consent 

      Grant consent using a link provided by Dooap.

      		 X

      Please note that activating this port will result in a brief service interruption for AX2012, lasting a few minutes. Hence, we recommend carefully planning the timing of this activation.

      Ensure this step is completed in both the test and production environments.

      Confirm to Dooap once granting consent and activating the inbound port is completed.
