You can set up a firewall between Active Roles client components, such as the Active Roles Console (also known as the MMC Interface), Web Interface, ADSI Provider or Management Shell, and the Active Roles Administration Service.
To access the Active Roles Administration Service with the Active Roles client components through a firewall, you must open port 15172 and all high ports (1024-65535) on port 15172 in the firewall. The client machines randomly select high ports to use for outgoing traffic on port 15172 to access the Active Roles Administration Service.
To give access to the Active Roles Administration Service through a firewall
In the firewall, open port 15172 TCP Inbound/Outbound.
In the firewall, open the high ports (port range 1024-65535) on port 15172.
If you want to access the Active Roles Web Interface through a firewall, then you need to open the following ports:
The Web Interface normally runs over port 80, or over port 443 if SSL is enabled (off by default).
Active Roles supports 3 different Azure environment configurations: Non-federated, Synchronized identity, and Federated.
In a non-federated environment, the on-premises domains are not registered in Azure AD, and neither Azure AD Connect nor any third-party synchronization tools are configured in the domain for synchronization. In non-federated environments, the changes made in Active Roles are immediately replicated to Azure or Office 365 using Graph API Calls or Command-let calls. Users or Guest Users are typically created in Azure with the onmicrosoft.com UPN suffix.
A non-federated environment may have the following settings:
On-premises domain: test.local
Azure AD Domain: ARSAzure.onmicrosoft.com
Azure AD Connect is not configured for synchronization.
The on-premises domain is not registered in Azure. The user or guest user is created in Active Roles with the ID of user001@test.local and in Azure as user001@ARSAzure.onmicrosoft.com. The user is created in Azure simultaneously when it is created in Active Roles using a GRAPH API call.
NOTE: One Identity recommends using non-federated environments for testing purposes only, and does not recommend setting them up as a live production environment.
In a Synchronized identity environment, the on-premises domain is optionally registered in Azure AD, while Azure AD Connect is configured to synchronize the local AD objects to Azure. Azure Users or Guest Users are typically created either with the selected on-premises domain or with the onmicrosoft.com UPN suffix.
Figure 219: Synchronized identity configuration
A synchronized identity environment may have the following settings:
On-premises domain: test.local
Azure AD Domain: rd4.qsftdemo.com
Azure AD Connect is configured for synchronization.
The on-premises domain is optionally registered in Azure. The user is created in Active Roles with the ID of user001@test.local and in Azure as user001@rd4.qsftdemo.com.
In a federated environment, the on-premises domain is always registered in Azure AD, while Azure AD Connect and Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) are configured to facilitate synchronization. Users and Guest Users are typically created with the UPN suffix of the selected on-premises domain.
Figure 220: Federated configuration
A federated configuration may have the following settings:
On-premises domain: rd4.qsftdemo.com
Azure AD Domain: rd4.qsftdemo.com
Azure AD Connect and ADFS are configured for synchronization.
The on-premises domain is registered and verified in Azure. The User is created in Active Roles and Azure AD with the same ID of user001@rd4.qsftdemo.com.
