Viewing or setting policies on AD LDS objects

By using the Active Roles Console, you can apply Active Roles Policy Objects to establish policy-based control and perform auto-provisioning of AD LDS data the same way as you do for the directory data held in Active Directory domains. By providing the ability to strictly enforce operating policies and to prevent unregulated access to sensitive information stored in AD LDS, Active Roles helps ensure the security of your business-critical data. Policy Objects can be configured to determine a wide variety of policies as applied to AD LDS, including data format validation, rule-based auto-provisioning of certain portions of data in AD LDS, and script-based, custom actions on AD LDS data.

You can use the following instructions to view or modify a list of Policy Objects that are applied to a given AD LDS object, such as an AD LDS user, group, Organizational Unit, container, or entire directory partition. For more information on how to create, configure and apply Policy Objects, see Rule-based autoprovisioning and deprovisioning.

To view or modify the list of Policy Objects on an AD LDS object

  1. In the Console tree, under AD LDS (ADAM), locate and select the container that holds the object on which you want to view or modify the list of Policy Objects.

  2. In the details pane, right-click the object, and click Properties.

  3. On the Administration tab in the Properties dialog, click Policy.

  4. In the Active Roles Policy dialog, view the list of Policy Objects that have effect on the AD LDS object, or modify the list as follows:

    • To apply an additional Policy Object to the AD LDS object, click Add, select the Policy Object to apply, and then click OK.

    • To remove the effect of a Policy Object on the AD LDS object, select the Policy Object from the list and click Remove. Alternatively, select the Blocked check box next to the Policy Object name.

  5. Click OK to close the Active Roles Policy dialog.

  6. Click OK to close the Properties dialog for the AD LDS object.

In the Active Roles Policy dialog, a Policy Object can only be removed if it is applied to the AD LDS object you have selected (rather than to a container that holds the AD LDS object). To view the Policy Objects that can be removed on the current selection, click Advanced, and then clear the Show inherited check box.

Instead of removing a Policy Object in the Active Roles Policy dialog, you can select the Blocked check box in the list entry for that Policy Object in order to remove the effect of the Policy Object on the AD LDS object. In this way, you can remove the effect of a Policy Object regardless of whether the Policy Object is applied to the AD LDS object itself or to a container that holds the object. If you block a Policy Object on a given AD LDS object, the policy settings defined by that Policy Object no longer take effect on the AD LDS object. You can undo this action by clearing the Blocked check box.

One Identity Starling Join and configuration through Active Roles

Active Roles 8.1.1 supports integration with One Identity Starling services. The Starling Join feature in Active Roles now enables you to connect to One Identity Starling, the Software as a Service (SaaS) solution of One Identity. The Starling Join feature enables access to the Starling services through Active Roles, allowing you to benefit from the Starling services such as Identity Analytics and Risk Intelligence, and Starling Connect.

To start the wizard, in the Active Roles Configuration Center, click Dashboard > Starling > Configure.

To join One Identity Starling to Active Roles, in the Active Roles Configuration Center, navigate to Starling and click Join One Identity Starling. The Join to One Identity Starling wizard also includes links, which provide assistance for using Starling:

  • The Online link displays information about the Starling product and the benefits you can take advantage of by subscribing to Starling services.

  • The Trouble Joining link displays the Starling support page with information on the requirements and process for joining with Starling.

Prerequisites to configure One Identity Starling

Before you configure Starling using the Active Roles Configuration Center, ensure the following:

  • Users must have acquired valid Starling Credentials, such as a Starling Organization Admin account or a Collaborator account. For more information on Starling, see the One Identity Starling User Guide.

  • The computer running Active Roles must have TLS version 1.2 enabled. For more information, see How to enable TLS 1.2 on clients in the Microsoft Core infrastructure documentation.

  • The computer running Active Roles must be able to connect directly to the web and reach the following web addresses at a minimum:

    • *.cloud.oneidentity.com

    • *.cloud.oneidentity.eu

    NOTE: Additional Microsoft URLs may be required depending on your Starling integration with Azure. For more information, see KB Article 229909 on the One Identity Support Portal.

  • The Active Roles Administration Service must be running on the computer where you want to configure Starling.
  • The Active Roles Administration Service must have a managed domain.

  • You must disable IE Enhanced Security Configuration to allow the Starling Join process to complete. Once the Starling Join process has completed, you can re-enable this setting. Follow the steps to disable IE Enhanced Security Configuration.

To disable IE Enhanced Security Configuration

  1. Open Server Manager.

  2. On the left pane, select Local Server.

  3. On the right pane, next to IE Enhanced Security Configuration, click On and in the popup window, turn Off the appropriate connection type (Administrators or Users). If unsure, turn off both connection types.

Configuring Active Roles to join One Identity Starling

To configure Active Roles to join One Identity Starling

  1. On the Active Roles Configuration Center, under Starling, click Configure.

  2. Click Join One Identity Starling. The Get Started page on the Starling product is displayed.

  3. On the Starling Get Started page, enter your work email address enabled with Starling, and click Next.

  4. Enter the Starling credentials provided to you at the time of subscribing to Starling and follow the instructions displayed on the wizard to continue.

    NOTE: Consider the following when configuring Active Roles to join One Identity Starling:

    • If you have a Starling account, when a subscription is created for you, you will receive a Starling invitation email. Click the link in the email and log in to the Starling account.

    • If you do not have a Starling account, when a subscription is created for you, you will get a Starling Sign-up email to complete a registration process to create a Starling account. Complete the registration and log in using the credentials that you have provided during registration. For account creation details, see the One Identity Starling User Guide.

    The One Identity Starling dialog appears in Active Roles with a progress message indicating the Starling joining progress. A join confirmation page appears with the name of the Active Roles instance that will be joined to Starling.

    After the operation is completed successfully, the Starling tab appears with Account Joined success message.
