Add an Azure AD Application

You can use the Active Roles Management Shell to add an Azure AD application to the Azure AD tenant.

To add an Azure AD application

On the Management Shell interface, run the New-QADConfigObject cmdlet.

Synopsis

This cmdlet enables you to add an Azure AD application to the Azure AD tenant.

Syntax

New-QADAzureConfigObject -type 'AzureApplication' -name 'AzureApplication' -DisplayName 'ApplicationDisplayName' -AzureTenantId 'AzureTenantGUID' -AzureAppPermissions 'ApplicationPermission'

Description

Use this cmdlet to add an Azure AD application.

Parameters

  • type (string)

    Use this parameter to specify the object class of the directory object to be created. This is the name of a schema class object, such as User or Group. The cmdlet creates a directory object of the object class specified by the value of this parameter.

    Table 107: Parameters:AzureAppPermissions

    Required

    true

    Position

    named

    Accepts pipeline input

    false

    Accepts wildcard characters

    false

  • AzureApplicationDescription

    Use this parameter to specify the description of the Azure AD application.

    Position

    named

    Accepts pipeline input

    false

    Accepts wildcard characters

    false

Example

Connect to any available domain controller with the credentials of the locally logged on user, and create a new Azure AD application:

C:\PS> New-QADAzureConfigObject -type 'AzureApplication' -name 'AzureApplication' -DisplayName 'ApplicationDisplayName' -AzureTenantId 'AzureTenantGUID' -AzureAppPermissions 'ApplicationPermission'

Example

Connect to the local Administration Service with the credentials of a specific user, create a new Azure AD tenant and then disconnect:

C:\PS> $pw = read-host "Enter password" -AsSecureString

C:\PS> connect-qadService -service 'localhost' -proxy -ConnectionAccount 'company\administrator' -ConnectionPassword $pw

C:\PS> New-QADAzureConfigObject -type 'AzureApplication' -name 'AzureApplication' -DisplayName 'ApplicationDisplayName' -AzureTenantId 'AzureTenantGUID' -AzureAppPermissions 'ApplicationPermission'

C:\PS> disconnect-qadService

Active Roles Configuration steps

Active Roles Configuration steps to manage Hybrid AD objects

To configure Active Roles to manage Hybrid AD objects, perform the following tasks:

  1. Create an Azure AD tenant.
  2. Create the Azure AD application.
  3. Provide the administrator consent for the Azure AD application.
  4. Enforce the Built-in Policy - Azure - Default Rules to Generate Properties Policy Object to the on-premises Active Directory containers, which are synchronized to Azure AD.

NOTE:

  • After an upgrade the edsvaAzureOffice365Enabled is not available for viewing or editing from Organizational Unit | Advanced Properties or through the management shell command-let, however the organizational unit container continues to be an Azure enabled container as the azure policy is already applied.

For more information on Azure custom policies, see Changes to Azure O365 Policies in Active Roles after 7.4.1.

Configuring the Azure - Default Rules to Generate Properties policy

If you want to manage hybrid Azure objects (such as hybrid Azure users) in your Organization Unit (OU), then use the built-in Azure - Default Rules to Generate Properties Policy Object of the Active Roles Console (also known as the MMC Interface) to provision the default properties and accepted values or hybrid objects.

To configure the built-in Azure - Default Rules to Generate Properties policy

  1. In the Active Roles Console, navigate to Configuration > Policies > Administration > BuiltIn.

  2. Right-click on Built-in Policy - Azure - Default Rules to Generate Properties and click Policy Scope.

  3. To open the Select Objects dialog for specifying the OU for provisioning, click Add.

  4. To specify the OU for provisioning hybrid Azure users, click Add, browse the OU you want to provision, and click Add.

    TIP: If no elements are displayed in the Select Objects dialog, select Click here to display objects.

  5. To apply the changes and close the dialog, click OK.

NOTE: The new provisioning policy settings will be applied automatically only to objects created after configuring the Azure - Default Rules to Generate Properties policy object.

To create cloud Azure users for existing on-premises users, you must configure the cloud Azure users manually for each existing on-premises user on the Active Roles Web Interface. To do so:

  1. Navigate to the folder of the hybrid users of the OU under Directory Management > Tree > Active Directory > <your-AD-folder> > <your-OU-folder>.

  2. Select the on-premises user for which you want to create a cloud Azure user.

  3. To open the New Azure User dialog, on the right pane, click Create Azure User. For more information on the steps of creating a new cloud Azure user, see Creating a new cloud-only Azure user.

Active Roles Configuration to synchronize

Active Roles Configuration to synchronize existing Azure AD objects to Active Roles

In any hybrid environment, on-premises Active Directory objects are synchronized to Azure AD using Azure AD Connect. When Active Roles is deployed in such a hybrid environment, the existing users and groups' information, such as Azure objectID, must be synchronized back from Azure AD to on-premises AD to continue using the functionality. To synchronize existing AD users and groups from Azure AD to Active Roles we must use the back-synchronization operation.

In Federated or synchronized Identity environment, while creating objects like users, groups, or contacts they are created in on-premise and then synchronized from on-premise to Azure using AAD Connect. Backsync operation is performed to obtain the ObjectID of these objects and update the edsvaAzureObjectID in Active Roles to allow further management.

The back-synchronization operation can be performed automatically or manually using the Active Roles Active Roles Synchronization Service Console:

  • Automatic Back Synchronization is performed using the Azure Backsync Configuration feature in Active Roles Synchronization Service that allows you to configure the backsync operation in Azure with on-premises Active Directory objects through the Active Roles Synchronization Service Console. After the backsync operation is completed successfully the Azure application registration and the required connections, mappings, and sync workflow steps are created automatically.

    For information on configuring the backsync operation automatically using the Active Roles Synchronization Service Console, see Configuring Sync Workflow to back-synchronize Azure AD Objects to Active Roles automatically using the Active Roles Synchronization Service Console.

    For more information on the results of the backsync operation see the One Identity Active Roles Synchronization Service Administration Guide.

  • Manual Back Synchronization is performed by leveraging the existing functionality of Synchronization Service component of Active Roles. Synchronization workflows are configured to identify the Azure AD unique users or groups and map them to the on-premises AD users or groups. After the back-synchronization operation is completed, Active Roles displays the configured Azure attributes for the synchronized objects.

    For information on configuring Synchronization workflows for Azure AD, see One Identity Active Roles Synchronization Service Administration Guide.
