User confirms , enters name, chooses a password, uploads a photo, and selects some groups. Users have control over the values that appear in their profile
Available to verified administrators in Yammer Profiles can be created with a default password Requires code, but allows integration with other identity systems
The same credentials used in the enterprise are used by Yammer Makes multi-factor authentication a possibility A single set of credentials to remember One identity
Yammer delegates this responsibility to Directory Sync SAML is the supported protocol ADFS, Azure AD, and many other identity providers support this standard
No self-service If you have a SAML 2.0 Identity Provider then configuration is pretty straightforward Tests happen against your Yammer network at a scheduled time Provide identity provider metadata Yammer implements service provider configuration Create Relying Party Trust with Yammer metadata Test SSO Make address changes Activate SSO

Custom invite and welcome s Prepopulate user profile fields Overwrite upon update to AD Suspend users when they are disabled or deleted in AD
Not a good fit for a social scenario where users are empowered to create groups that fit with their workflow Users are always identifiable AD is optimal for the pre- population of fields Default settings respect values users have entered in Yammer
Installs on a single server No database required AD and LDAP expertise required to configure custom filters (queries) First sync sends all data, subsequent syncs are incremental Install Directory SyncConnect to YammerConnect to ADValidate user queriesEnable sync

Will disturb few workers An opportunity to give a better first experience with SSO Always start with SSO Implement Directory Sync in suspend-only mode initially Enable adds and updates later
Users can access Yammer from O365 without logging into Yammer Users can more easily move between Yammer and O365 Being looked at, but this is a long term item
1.Decide about the best SSO option 2.Implement Yammer SSO and Directory Sync 3.Go with SSO before Directory Sync* 4.Use a simple Directory Sync configuration 5.Merge in front to avoid operating multiple Yammer networks. 6.Follow the Yammer Release Schedule for identity updatesRelease Schedule
