Permissions required for synchronizing with One Identity Active Roles

It is recommended to set up a separate user account to use for connecting to Active Directory through for Active Roles. Use Active Roles Access Templates for the configuration. By using access templates, you delegate administration-relevant permissions to an Active Directory user account but without issuing the permissions directly in Active Directory. For more information about Active Roles Access Templates, see your One Identity Active Roles documentation.

The following Access Templates are suggested for delegating permissions:

All Objects - Read All Properties
All Objects - Full Control

One Identity Manager works without controlling Active Roles workflows. To avoid any existing Active Roles workflows, you must add the user account to the Active Roles administrators group.

Edit the Active Roles admins in the Active Roles Configuration Center. If a user account is entered in the Active Roles Configuration Center as an Active Roles Admin, this is the user account that must be used. For more information about editing the group or the user account for administrative access, see your One Identity Active Roles documentation.

Setting up the synchronization server

All One Identity Manager Service actions are run against the target system environment on the synchronization server. Data entries required for synchronization and administration with the One Identity Manager database are processed by the synchronization server.

The One Identity Manager Service with the Active Roles connector must be installed on the synchronization server.

Detailed information about this topic

System requirements for the synchronization server

To set up synchronization with an Active Directory environment, a server with the following software installation must be available:

Windows operating system

The following versions are supported:
- Windows Server 2022
- Windows Server 2019
- Windows Server 2016
- Windows Server 2012 R2
- Windows Server 2012
Microsoft .NET Framework version 4.8 or later

NOTE: Take the target system manufacturer's recommendations into account.

One Identity Active Roles Management Shell for Active Directory (x64)

On 32-bit operating systems, use the Active Roles Management Shell for Active Directory (x86) package.

For installation instructions, refer to your One Identity Active Roles documentation.
The following packages must be subsequently installed from the Active Roles installation medium:

On 32-bit systems:
- <source>\Redistributables\vc_redist.x86.exe
- <source>\Components\ActiveRoles ADSI Provider\ADSI_x86.msi
On 64-bit systems:
- <source>\Redistributables\vc_redist.x64.exe
- <source>\Components\ActiveRoles ADSI Provider\ADSI_x64.msi

Furthermore, it is necessary that connections can be established from the Job server to the Active Roles server over the 15172 port. If necessary, a firewall rule must be set up on the Active Roles server.

Installing One Identity Manager Service with an Active Roles connector

NOTE: For existing Active Roles installations:

The One Identity Manager Service can be installed on a server with Active Roles.

The One Identity Manager Service must be installed on the synchronization server with the Active Roles connector. The synchronization server must be declared as a Job server in One Identity Manager.

Table 1: Properties of the Job server
Property	Value
Server function	Active Roles connector
Machine role	Server \| Job Server \| Active Directory

NOTE: If several target system environments of the same type are synchronized under the same synchronization server, it is recommended that you set up a Job server for each target system for performance reasons. This avoids unnecessary swapping of connections to target systems because a Job server only has to process tasks of the same type (re-use of existing connections).

To set up a Job server, perform the following steps.

Create a Job server and install and configure the One Identity Manager Service.

Use the One Identity Manager Service to install the Server Installer. The program runs the following steps:
- Sets up a Job server.
- Specifies machine roles and server function for the Job server.
- Installs One Identity Manager Service components corresponding to the machine roles.
- Configures the One Identity Manager Service.
- Starts the One Identity Manager Service.
Use the Server Installer to install the One Identity Manager Service locally or remotely.

To remotely install the One Identity Manager Service, provide an administrative workstation on which the One Identity Manager components are installed. Ensure that the One Identity Manager components are installed on the server before installing locally. For more information about installing One Identity Manager components, see the One Identity Manager Installation Guide.
If you are working with an encrypted One Identity Manager database, declare the database key in the One Identity Manager Service. For more information about working with an encrypted One Identity Manager database, see the One Identity Manager Installation Guide.
To generate processes for the Job server, you need the provider, connection parameters and the authentication data. By default, this information is determined from the database connection data. If the Job server runs through an application server, you must configure extra connection data in the Designer. For more information about connection data, see the One Identity Manager Configuration Guide.

To install and configure the One Identity Manager Service on a server

Start the Server Installer program.

NOTE: To install remotely, start the Server Installer program on your administrative workstation. To install locally, start the program on the server.

On the Database connection page, enter the valid connection credentials for the One Identity Manager database.

You can connect via the application server or directly to connect to the database.
On the Server properties page, specify the server on which you want to install the One Identity Manager Service.
1. Select a Job server from the Server menu.
  
  - OR -
  
  To create a new Job server, click Add.
2. Enter the following data for the Job server.
  - Server: Name of the Job server.
  - Queue: Name of the queue to handle the process steps. Each Job server within the network must have a unique queue identifier. The process steps are requested by the Job queue using this exact queue name. The queue identifier is entered in the One Identity Manager Service configuration file.
  - Full server name: Full server name in accordance with DNS syntax.
    
    Syntax:
    
    <Name of servers>.<Fully qualified domain name>
  NOTE: You can use the Extended option to make changes to other properties for the Job server. You can also edit the properties later with the Designer.

On the Machine roles page, select Active Directory.
On the Server functions page, select Active Roles connector.
On the Service Settings page, enter the connection data and check the One Identity Manager Service configuration.

NOTE: The initial service configuration is predefined. If further changes need to be made to the configuration, you can do this later with the Designer. For more information about configuring the service, see the One Identity Manager Configuration Guide.
