Introduction

This document describes how to install One Identity Active Roles and its components, deploy its services in your organization, or uninstall it.

Active Roles simplifies creating and managing user accounts and groups in Windows Active Directory (AD) environments by automating the following:

  • User and group account management in AD and Azure AD.

  • Mailbox management in Exchange and Exchange Online.

  • Group population, and resource assignment in Windows.

Active Roles enforces security, automates directory management tasks, and provides change approval and a Web Interface.

Active Roles components

Active Roles divides directory administration into 3 functional layers:

  • Presentation components

  • Service components

  • Network data sources.

Figure 1: Active Roles Components

  • Presentation components are client interfaces for Windows and the Web, allowing users with sufficient rights to perform a defined set of administrative operations. Active Roles can also generate reports on administrative operations.

  • Service components provide a secure layer between administrators and managed data sources. Service components enforce policies, provide automation capabilities, and integrate business processes for administrating Active Directory, Exchange and other corporate data sources.

  • Network data sources are managed by the Administration Service, a rules-based proxy that is the main component of Active Roles. The Administration Service acts as a bridge between the presentation components and network data sources.

    You can use the Administration Service's delegation capabilities to enforce administrative policies that keep data up-to-date and accurate. In large networks, you can deploy multiple instances of Administration Services to improve performance and ensure fault tolerance.

    The Administration Service uses the configuration database to store configuration data. Configuration data includes definitions of objects specific to Active Roles, assignments of administrative roles and policies, and procedures used to enforce policies.

    The Administration Service provides a complete audit trail by creating records in the Active Roles event log. The log shows all actions performed, including unpermitted actions. The log entries display the success or failure of each action, as well as the attributes that were changed while managing objects in data sources.

Active Roles Setup package

The Active Roles folder contains the following files and folders:

  • ActiveRoles.exe

  • Components

  • Redistributables

  • Tools

  • Data Collector and Report Pack: Allows you to collect Administration Service data and store them in an on-premises SQL Server or Azure SQL database for reporting purposes.

  • Configuration Transfer Wizard: Allows you to export your Active Roles configuration resources (such as Access Templates, Managed Units, Policy Objects, Policy Types and so on) to an XML file, then import them to another Active Roles instance.

  • Diagnostic Tools: Provides you optional tools to check system requirements, logs and changes in your Active Directory domain.

  • Management Pack for SCOM: Allows you to monitor your Active Roles environment and configure alerts for various error conditions.

  • SPML Provider: Allows you to exchange user, resource, and service-provisioning information between SPML-enabled enterprise applications and Active Directory.

  • Synchronization Service Capture Agent: Allows you to synchronize user passwords between Active Directory domains managed by Synchronization Service and other connected data systems.

System requirements

Before installing Active Roles 8.2 in an on-premises environment, ensure that your system meets the following minimum hardware and software requirements.

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.

To authenticate and communicate with Azure, the Active Roles Service must have access to the following Microsoft endpoints:

  • https://login.microsoftonline.com/

  • https://developer.microsoft.com/graph

  • https://graph.windows.net/

To manage Azure Active Directory resources, you must install the following prerequisites in the Active Roles Configuration Center.

TIP: To run the PowerShell commands of the following modules, use the 64-bit version of Windows PowerShell.

Requirement

Version

Details

NuGet package provider

Minimum: 2.8.5.201

Maximum: 3.0.0.1

You must install the NuGet package provider on the computer(s) running an Active Roles Administration Service instance or Active Roles Synchronization Service.

For more information, see Install-PackageProvider in the Microsoft Package Management documentation.

Exchange Online PowerShell V3 module

Minimum: 3.0.0

Maximum: 3.5.0

You must install the Exchange Online PowerShell module on the computer(s) running an Active Roles Administration Service instance or Active Roles Synchronization Service.

For more information, see About the Exchange Online PowerShell module in the Microsoft Exchange PowerShell documentation.

Az.Accounts PowerShell module

Minimum: 2.15.1

Maximum: 2.16.0

You must install the Az.Accounts PowerShell module on the computer(s) running an Active Roles Administration Service instance or Active Roles Synchronization Service.

For more information, see Az.Accounts in the Microsoft PowerShell Gallery.

Az.Resources PowerShell module

Minimum: 6.15.1

Maximum: 6.16.0

You must install the Az.Resources PowerShell module on the computer(s) running an Active Roles Administration Service instance.

Microsoft Graph PowerShell module

Maximum: 2.17.0

You must install the Microsoft Graph PowerShell module on the computer(s) running an Active Roles Administration Service instance. For installation instructions, see Microsoft Graph in the Microsoft PowerShell Gallery.

Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime

N/A

If no web browser is installed on the machine where you want to install and use Active Roles, download the Microsoft Edge Webview 2 Runtime installer with the following PowerShell command:

Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=2124703" -OutFile "$([System.IO.Path]::Combine([System.Environment]::GetFolderPath('UserProfile'), 'Downloads', 'MicrosoftEdgeWebView2Setup.exe'))"

After the download is finished, locate the installer in your Downloads folder and run it.

(Optional) One Identity certificate

N/A

If your organization enforces the AllSigned policy, you must install the One Identity certificate during the installation of Active Roles.

CAUTION: When importing PowerShell modules with the $context.O365ImportModules function, they are imported with the versions specified in the configuration of the Azure-specific prerequisites.

However, after importing the specified versions of the required PowerShell modules, running PowerShell cmdlets without passing them as a string to the $context.O365ImportModules function can cause inconsistent behavior in Active Roles. This is because if there are multiple versions of the same PowerShell module installed on the computer running the Active Roles server, PowerShell modules containing the script to run can be imported automatically with different versions.

To avoid inconsistent behavior in Active Roles by importing different PowerShell versions, run PowerShell modules only by passing them as a string to the $context.O365ImportModules function.
