Hudu

The Hudu integration provides several different options to give you control over what is synchronised from CIPP to Hudu.

Data is synchronized automatically once every 24 hours from Microsoft 365 / CIPP to Hudu. This is scheduled once you save the extension and map your tenants.

For User and Device information a Rich Text field called "Microsoft 365" is used. This field is created after the first sync once you've set your Field Mappings to the appropriate asset layout.

Configuring the integration

Step 1 - Obtain API Credentials

1. First login to your Hudu instance as an Administrator.

2. Browse to Admin -> Account Administration -> API Keys

3. Select + New API Key at the top right.

4. Fill out the details for the API Application:

   • Enter a Name such as 'CIPP Integration'.

   • Optional: Get a list of potential IP addresses from your function app to limit the API scope to just the function app.

5. Click Create New Key.

6. Copy the API key to a secure place.

Step 2 - CIPP Settings

You should now be ready to configure settings inside CIPP

1. Inside CIPP browse to Settings -> CIPP -> Extension Settings

2. Select the Hudu tab.

3. Please enter the FQDN you use to connect to Hudu:

   • https://yoursubdomain.huducloud.com or a self hosted address

4. Enter the API Key you created in Hudu.

5. Set the configuration to enabled to enable automatic synchronization once every 24 hours.

6. Click the Set Extension Settings button.

Step 4 - Mapping CIPP to Hudu

After the API settings are set you can now map Hudu Assets to Microsoft 365 / CIPP Items.

Organization Mapping

     • This will try to match Microsoft 365 tenants where the name exactly matches in both.

3. Click Save Mappings.
