Objects and attributes specific to Microsoft 365 services

When configuring the O365 connection settings, you can select the Microsoft 365 services you want to work with, such as SharePoint Online, Exchange Online, or Microsoft Teams.

The following table describes the object types and attributes that become available in the Active Roles Synchronization Service Console when you select a particular check box in the connection settings.

NOTE: The objects and object attributes that are not mentioned in the following table are always available in the Active Roles Synchronization Service Console.

How the Office 365 Connector works with data

To read and write data in Microsoft 365, the Office 365 Connector relies on the cmdlets of the following Windows PowerShell modules:

  • Microsoft Azure Active Directory Module for Windows PowerShell (previously known as Microsoft Online Services Module for Windows PowerShell)

  • PowerShell Module for Microsoft Teams

  • SharePoint Online Management Shell.

As a result, the connector can only work with data supported by the cmdlets of these PowerShell modules.

NOTE: Due to its reliance of the above PowerShell modules, the Office 365 Connector cannot read or write the data of:

  • Objects written to Microsoft 365 by the Microsoft Azure Active Directory Sync tool.
  • Password hashes.

Configuring data synchronization with the Microsoft Azure AD Connector

With the Microsoft Azure AD Connector, you can configure data synchronization connections toward Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD).

The Microsoft Azure AD Connector supports the following features:

Table 112: Supported features

Feature

Supported

Bidirectional synchronization

Specifies whether you can both read and write data in the connected data system.

Yes

Delta processing mode

Specifies whether the connection can process only the data that has changed in the connected data system since the last synchronization operation. This reduces the overall synchronization duration.

No

Password synchronization

Specifies whether you can synchronize user passwords from an Active Directory (AD) domain to the connected data system.

No

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) data encryption

Specifies whether the connector can use SSL to encrypt data transmitted between Active Roles Synchronization Service and the connected data system.

Yes

Configuring a Microsoft Azure AD connection

To create a connection to Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) with the Microsoft Azure AD Connector, you must perform two procedures:

  1. Configure Active Roles Synchronization Service as an Azure application in your Microsoft Azure AD organization. For more information on this procedure, see Configuring the Microsoft Azure AD Connector as an Azure application for data synchronization.

  2. Configure the Microsoft Azure AD Connector in the Active Roles Synchronization Service console. For more information, see Creating a connection with the Microsoft Azure AD Connector.
