Before starting the deployment and configuration of Active Roles to manage AWS Managed Microsoft AD via AWS Directory Service, make sure that the following requirements are met.
NOTE: When setting up a virtual environment, carefully consider the configuration aspects such as CPU, memory availability, I/O subsystem, and network infrastructure to ensure the virtual layer has the necessary resources available. For more information about environment virtualization, see One Identity's Product Support Policies.
Connectivity requirements
You must have:
-
Stable network connectivity to Amazon Web Services (AWS).
-
Port 1433 open and available for the Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) service.
-
Access to the AWS service with the AWSAdministratorAccess permission.
NOTE: Make sure that you have AWSAdministratorAccess permission, as it is required for certain configuration steps. The AWSPowerUserAccess permission is not sufficient for completing the entire configuration procedure.
Infrastructure requirements
To deploy and configure Active Roles for AWS Managed Microsoft AD, you must have access to the following AWS services and resources:
-
AWS Managed Microsoft AD deployed via AWS Directory Service.
-
One or more Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instance(s) hosting the Active Roles services and components.
The EC2 instance(s) must have, at minimum:
-
2 vCPUs running at 2.0 GHz.
-
4 GB of RAM.
TIP: One Identity recommends hosting the main Active Roles services and components (the Active Roles Service and Console, and the Active Roles Web Interface) on separate EC2 instances. If you deploy all Active Roles services and components in a single EC2 instance, use a more powerful instance to ensure a better user experience for the product.
NOTE: AWS Managed Microsoft AD support was tested with a single t2.large EC2 instance.
-
-
An Amazon Relational Database Service for SQL Server (RDS for SQL Server).
NOTE: AWS Managed Microsoft AD support was tested with an RDS instance running the latest version of Microsoft SQL Server.
Make sure that all these components are discoverable or visible to each other.
