About the data processing component

The data processing component accepts administrative requests and validates them by checking permissions and rules stored in the Administration Database. This component manages the network data sources, retrieving or changing the appropriate network object data based on administrative requests and policy definitions.

The data processing component operates as a secure service. It logs on with domain user accounts having sufficient privileges to access the domains registered with Active Roles (managed domains). The access to the managed domains is limited by the access rights of those user accounts.

About the configuration database

The Administration Service uses the configuration database to store configuration data. The configuration data includes definitions of objects specific to Active Roles, assignments of administrative roles and policies, and procedures used to enforce policies. The configuration database is only used to store Active Roles configuration data. It does not store copies of the objects that reside in the managed data sources, nor is it used as an object data cache.

Active Roles uses Microsoft SQL Server to host the configuration database. The replication capabilities of SQL Server facilitate implementation of multiple equivalent configuration databases used by different Administration Service.

Active Roles now supports database configuration on on-premises databases and Azure SQL databases. You can configure Azure SQL database variants, such as Azure SQL database, Azure SQL Managed instance and Azure SQL Elastic Pool in Active Roles.

NOTE: Active Roles supports database configuration over encrypted SQL Server configurations. For more information, see Knowledge Base Article Is SQL Server encryption supported? on the One Identity Support Portal.

About the audit trail

The data processing component provides a complete audit trail by creating records in the event log on the computer running the Administration Service. The log shows all actions performed and by whom, including actions that were not permitted. The log entries display the success or failure of each action, as well as which attributes were changed.

About network data sources

Through the Administration Service, Active Roles accesses and controls the object data stored in the following data sources:

  • Active Directory domains and forests: Provides the directory object information in Active Directory domains.

  • Microsoft Exchange Server: Provides information about mailboxes maintained by Microsoft Exchange.

  • Azure AD: Provides information about users in Azure Active Directory.

  • Microsoft 365: Provides information about users in Microsoft 365.

  • Exchange Online: Provides information about users in Exchange Online.

  • Other data sources: Provides information about objects that exist outside of Active Directory. This includes information from corporate databases, such as human resources databases, and information about computer resources, such as services, printers, and network file shares.

Active Roles is designed to help with the use and management of these data sources. Directory administrators can define and enforce business rules and policies to ensure that the data in the managed data sources remains current and accurate.

With Active Roles, you can utilize the information stores from a wide variety of data sources in your network, such as human resource data or inventories. You can use scripting to integrate these important data sources. This reduces the duplication of work, reduces data pollution, and allows for the validation of information that is often stored in more than one database.

Active Roles makes it possible for a custom script to receive control upon a request to perform an administrative operation, such as object creation, modification, or deletion. Custom scripts can be invoked through Policy Objects, which Active Roles uses to enforce corporate rules. For example, you could implement a Policy Object containing a custom script that will receive control whenever Active Roles is requested to create a user object in a certain OU.

The Policy Object could be configured so that Active Roles continues with the user creation only after a certain piece of the script (the pre-create event handler) has successfully executed. In this way, the script prohibits the creation of user objects whose properties violate corporate rules. It prevents the population of object properties with values taken from external data sources, and generates default property values in accordance with the corporate rules.

The Policy Object may also be configured to pass control to another piece of the script (the post-create event handler) immediately after a user object is successfully created. This enables the script to trigger additional actions, required by corporate rules, after the object has been created. For example, it can update external data stores, provision the user with access to resources, and notify that the user object has been created.
