Modifying a Microsoft Azure Active Directory connection

Synchronization Service reads and writes data in Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) by using an Azure application in your Microsoft Azure AD environment. To create a connection to Microsoft Azure AD, use the Microsoft Azure AD Connector of the Active Roles Synchronization Service.

You can modify the settings of an existing Azure AD connector in the Synchronization Service Console.

Modifying the manual configuration settings of a Microsoft Azure Active Directory connector

You can modify the manual configuration settings of an existing Azure AD connector in the Synchronization Service Console.

To modify the manual configuration settings of an Azure AD connector

  1. In the Synchronization Service Console, open the Connections tab.

  2. Click Connection settings under the existing Azure AD connection you want to modify.

  3. On the Connection Settings tab, click Specify connection settings to expand it and use the following options.

  4. To use an existing Azure application, select Manual configuration.

    NOTE: Alternatively, you can also select Auto configuration to use and update an existing Azure application. Under Auto configuration, click Log in to Azure. After logging in to Azure with your tenant, the Tenant ID, Application ID and Certificate thumbprint parameters are automatically filled in.

  5. Enter the Tenant ID, Application ID, and Certificate thumbprint of the Azure tenant as they appear on the Azure portal.

  6. To test the connection with the new parameters, click Test connection.

  7. To modify the connection settings, click Save.

Modifying the automatic configuration settings of a Microsoft Azure Active Directory connector

You can modify the automatic configuration settings of an existing Azure AD connector in the Synchronization Service Console.

To modify the auto configuration settings of an Azure AD connector

  1. In the Synchronization Service Console, open the Connections tab.

  2. Click Connection settings under the existing Azure AD connection you want to modify.

  3. On the Connection Settings tab, click Specify connection settings to expand it and use the following options.

  4. To create a new Azure application or update an existing one, select Auto configuration.

    NOTE: If you have more than one Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) services in your Azure tenant, select I have more than one Azure AD in my Azure tenant, and use the Tenant ID field to specify the GUID of the Azure AD for which you want to set up synchronization. For more information, see Finding the GUID (Tenant ID) of an Azure AD for Azure BackSync.

  5. Select one of the following options based on the number of Azure AD services in your Azure tenant:

    • I have one Azure AD in my Azure tenant.

    • I have more than one Azure AD in my Azure tenant.

  6. Authenticate your access to Azure AD:

    • If you have selected I have one Azure AD in my Azure tenant, click Log in to Azure to authenticate your access to Azure AD.

    • If you have selected I have more than one Azure AD in my Azure tenant, in Tenant ID, enter the GUID of the Azure AD for which you want to set up synchronization.

      TIP: For more information on how to find the GUID of an Azure AD service, see Finding the GUID (Tenant ID) of an Azure AD for Azure BackSync.

      After specifying the tenant ID, authenticate your access to Azure AD by clicking Log in to Azure.

      NOTE: If you select I have more than one Azure AD in my Azure tenant, the Log in to Azure button will be enabled only if you specify a well-formed Azure AD GUID in the Tenant ID text box.

  7. Azure application name: Enter the name of the new or existing Azure application.

  8. To create or update the Azure application in Azure AD, click Create or update Azure application.

    The created or updated Azure application has the following directory roles assigned to it:

    • Directory Writers

    • Exchange Administrator

    • User Administrator

    The following permissions are also added, for which you must give admin consent:

    • Sign in and read user profile

    • Manage Exchange As Application

    NOTE: You may need to set additional permissions depending on your needs.

  9. To give admin consent for the permissions of the Azure application, click Consent. Then, in the Azure Tenant Consent dialog, click Accept.

  10. To test the connection with the new parameters, click Test connection.

  11. To modify the connection settings, click Save.

Microsoft Azure AD object types supported for data synchronization

The Microsoft Azure AD Connector supports several user and group object attributes for data synchronization. The following tables list the all supported user and group objects, along with the operations you can perform on them.

Table 112: Supported objects and operations

NOTE: When configuring a data synchronization mapping rule with the Microsoft Azure AD Connector, consider that the following User and Group attributes are currently not supported and cannot be queried via the Microsoft Graph API:

  • User attributes:

    • aboutMe

    • birthday

    • contacts

    • hireDate

    • interests

    • mySite

    • officeLocation

    • pastProjects

    • preferredName

    • responsibilites

    • schools

    • skills

  • Group attributes:

    • acceptedSenders

    • allowExternalSenders

    • autoSubscribeNewMembers

    • hasMembersWithLicenseErrors

    • hideFromAddressLists

    • hideFromOutlookClients

    • isSubscribedByMail

    • membersWithLicenseErrors

    • rejectedSenders

    • unseenCount

This means that although these user and group attributes are visible, they cannot be set in a mapping rule.
