Meet ConductorOne at Black Hat

Set up a Ramp connector

ConductorOne provides identity governance for Ramp. Integrate your Ramp instance with ConductorOne to run user access reviews (UARs) and enable just-in-time access requests.

This is an updated and improved version of the Ramp connector! If you’re setting up Ramp with ConductorOne for the first time, you’re in the right place.

Configure the Ramp connector

To complete this task, you’ll need:

  • The Connector Administrator or Super Administrator role in ConductorOne
  • The Administrator role in Ramp

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

  1. In ConductorOne, navigate to Admin > Connectors and click Add connector.

  2. Search for Ramp and click Add.

  3. Choose how to set up the new Ramp connector:

    • Add the connector to a currently unmanaged app (select from the list of apps that were discovered in your identity, SSO, or federation provider that aren’t yet managed with ConductorOne)

    • Add the connector to a managed app (select from the list of existing managed apps)

    • Create a new managed app

  4. Set the owner for this connector. You can manage the connector yourself, or choose someone else from the list of ConductorOne users. Setting multiple owners is allowed.

    If you choose someone else, ConductorOne will notify the new connector owner by email that their help is needed to complete the setup process.

  5. Click Next.

  6. Find the Settings area of the page and click Edit.

  7. Click Login with OAuth.

  8. Log in and authorize ConductorOne with your Ramp instance.

  9. You will then be redirected back to the Ramp setup page in ConductorOne, where you’ll see an authorization message.

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

That’s it! Your Ramp connector is now pulling access data into ConductorOne.

Follow these instructions to use the Ramp connector, hosted and run in your own environment.

When running in service mode on Kubernetes, a self-hosted connector maintains an ongoing connection with ConductorOne, automatically syncing and uploading data at regular intervals. This data is immediately available in the ConductorOne UI for access reviews and access requests.

Step 1: Set up a new Ramp connector

  1. In ConductorOne, navigate to Connectors > Add connector.

  2. Search for Baton and click Add.

  3. Choose how to set up the new Ramp connector:

    • Add the connector to a currently unmanaged app (select from the list of apps that were discovered in your identity, SSO, or federation provider that aren’t yet managed with ConductorOne)

    • Add the connector to a managed app (select from the list of existing managed apps)

    • Create a new managed app

  4. Set the owner for this connector. You can manage the connector yourself, or choose someone else from the list of ConductorOne users. Setting multiple owners is allowed.

    If you choose someone else, ConductorOne will notify the new connector owner by email that their help is needed to complete the setup process.

  5. Click Next.

  6. In the Settings area of the page, click Edit.

  7. 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 Ramp connector deployment:

Secrets configuration

# baton-ramp-secrets.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: baton-ramp-secrets
type: Opaque
stringData:
  # ConductorOne credentials
  BATON_CLIENT_ID: <ConductorOne client ID>
  BATON_CLIENT_SECRET: <ConductorOne client secret>
  
  # Ramp credentials
  BATON_TOKEN: <Ramp API token>

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

Deployment configuration

# baton-ramp.yaml
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: baton-ramp
  labels:
    app: baton-ramp
spec:
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: baton-ramp
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: baton-ramp
        baton: true
        baton-app: ramp
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: baton-ramp
        image: ghcr.io/conductorone/baton-ramp:latest
        imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
        envFrom:
        - secretRef:
            name: baton-ramp-secrets

Step 3: Deploy the connector

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

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

That’s it! Your Ramp connector is now pulling access data into ConductorOne.
