Introducing Rollcall - Azure Active Directory to Workspace ONE Access SCIM Proxy

I don't even know where to start here!

This project has been one of the most frustrating but educational things I have done in a long time. For a long time I continually get asked how we can use Azure Active Directory natively in Workspace ONE without needing an On-Prem AD and/or LDAP via the Connectors.

Originally I thought it was mostly that the VMware developers just hadn't prioritised getting this in the Access Environment and it was something that Microsoft just didn't allow, but after learning Node.js and Angular and taking on this task I realised there was a lot more to it.

So I wrote my first App

And it was exhausting! I've never really been interested in coding, but with being in front a computer a lot more I've been able to spend a bit of time learning some new skills. It started off by wanting to learn some more about interacting with the Workspace ONE APIs, but I ended up wanting to add 'just that little bit more' until I ended up with something I'm somewhat happy with.

I am sure the code is very inefficient and I had to learn a lot of new concepts but what I've created is - Workpace ONE COVID-19 Notifier

What it allows you to do is obtain the latest COVID-19 Statistics for your Country and send a message to Workspace ONE users and devices.

Read on to see how I can see this being used!
