Azure Object Management in Federated and Synchronized Identity environments

Synchronization methods are applicable only in Synchronized and Federated environments and AAD Connect is used to perform the synchronization. Azure non-federated environment does not require synchronization and the direct GRAPH API calls are used to make the Azure or Office 365 object management.

The following table provides information about the operations and methods of operation that can be performed on Azure Objects in Federated and Synchronized Identity environments.

NOTE:

  • *Active Roles provides cloud-only support only for Native Office 365 Group management.

  • Synced using AAD Connect referenced in the table specifies that the object operation is initially performed on the on-premise object . After a Microsoft Azure AD Connect synchronization cycle, the object is updated in Azure AD or Office 365.

  • For more information on how to perform Back Sync operation refer Active Roles Configuration to synchronize existing Azure AD objects to Active Roles in the Active Roles Administration Guide.

Appendix E: Enabling delegation for Federated Authentication

To enable delegation for Federated Authentication follow the steps provided here.

  2. If the server hosting Active Roles Web Interface is a member server (non-DC), navigate to Computer Management | System Tools | Local Users and Groups.

  3. Add the Active Roles service account to both Distributed COM Users and IIS_USRS groups.

Creating ServicePrincipalName entries for the Active Roles service account

  • setspn -U -S HTTP/webserver.domain.com domain\AppPoolAccount
  • setspn -U -S HTTP/webserver domain\AppPoolAccount
  • setspn -U -S ArAdminSvc/serviceserver.domain.com domain\AppPoolAccount
  • setspn -U -S ArAdminSvc/serviceserver domain\AppPoolAccount

Open Active Directory Users and Computers Snap in or type dsa.msc in Run

  1. Open the properties of the user for which ServicePrincipalName is set.

  2. Click the Delegation tab.

  3. select Trust this user for delegation to specified services only option.

Installing Redistributable STS

To install the Redistributable STS (RSTS) application, follwo the steps provided here.

Installing Redistributable STS (RSTS)

  1. Open command prompt with Administrator privileges.
  2. At the command prompt, type the web location of the Redistributable STS (RSTS). By default, RSTS is available in C:\Program Files\One Identity\Active Roles\7.4\Web\RSTS.
  3. Type RSTS /install to install the RSTS application.
  4. After the RSTS application is installed, in C:\Program Files\One Identity\Active Roles\7.4\Web\RSTS\ApiAdminApplication, Open RStsApiAdmin application.
  5. In Connection Settings, enter localhost in the Server field and click Login.

    After the successful connection, The STS Server section in the General settings tab is populated with information.

    • Claim ID: Preferred name

    • Claim Type: Browse http://localhost/rsts/wsfedmetadata and pick the URI of the IUser.AccountName attribute. For example, http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/upn.
    • Attribute ID: userPrincipalName
  7. Click Save.

    In the Configuration Center, while configuring RSTS provider, you have to provide the Claim Type provided above.

  1. In the list of services check if the RedistributableSecureTokenServer service is running.

 

Examples for configuring identity providers

Here is an example of configuring the identity providers when using the Federated Authentication feature.

Azure

  • Metadata url: https://login.microsoftonline.com/<AzureTenantID>/FederationMetadata/2007-06/FederationMetadata.xml
  • realm: spn:<Azure Application ID>
  • replyurl: https://<Web Server Name>/arwebadmin/

 

ADFS

  • Metadata url: https://<ADFS Server name>/FederationMetadata/2007-06/FederationMetadata.xml
  • realm: https://<Web Server Name>/arwebadmin/
  • replyurl: https://<Web Server Name>/arwebadmin/

 

RSTS

  • Metadata url: http://localhost/rsts/wsfedmetadata
  • realm: https://<Web Server Name>/arwebadmin/
  • replyurl: https://<Web Server Name>/arwebadmin/

 

Switching STS providers, restart IIS and clear the browser cache.
