Enterprise integrations
* Verified admin only
Yammer offers a variety of integrations to help ensure your network is easy to access and available to everyone, while making other applications more mobile and social. If you are interested in any of the integrations below, please refer to the Yammer Developer Center for more details.
Directory Sync
Yammer's Directory Sync utility synchronizes the users in your Yammer network with your existing company directory structure. You can use it to manage the membership of your Yammer network. Once you set up Directory Sync, users will be added or removed automatically after you add or remove them in your company directory.
Important:
-
Yammer DSync is being deprecated and will stop working after December 1st, 2016. You will not be able to set up new configurations with Yammer DSync after April 1st, 2016. Instead of Yammer DSync, we recommend that you use Azure AD Connect Connect. For more information, see Integrating your on-premises identities with Azure Active Directory and Understanding Office 365 Identity and Azure Active Directory.

Office 365 sign-in for Yammer (recommended)
Make it easy for your users with the same sign-in experience for Office 365 and Yammer. Users of both Office 365 and Yammer can use the same sign-in account for both services. You can turn on single sign-on (SSO) for Office 365 and use that instead of Yammer SSO in most cases. For more information, see Office 365 sign-in for Yammer.
Single sign-on (SSO)
Yammer also offers single sign-on (SSO) integration to make access to your Yammer network seamless and easy for all users. Yammer's SSO server connects your existing SAML‐based SSO server to automatically log on your users based on your authentication mechanisms. If Office 365 sign-in for Yammer won't work for you, you can use Yammer SSO.
