Troubleshooting

Possible errors when synchronizing an Azure Active Directory tenant

Issue

An error occurs when loading the Azure Active Directory user accounts:

[Exception]: ServiceException occured

Code: BadRequest

Message: Tenant does not have a SPO license.

[ServiceException]: Code: BadRequest - Message: Tenant does not have a SPO license.

Cause

An Azure Active Directory tenant is synchronized that does not have a license for the SharePoint Online service.

Possible solutions

  • Ensure the Azure Active Directory tenant has a license that includes the SharePoint Online service. (Recommended)

  • If you want to synchronize an Azure Active Directory tenant that does not have a license for the SharePoint Online service, change the synchronization project with the Synchronization Editor.

    In Users mapping, disable the property mapping rules for the following schema properties. To do this, set the mapping direction to the Do not map.

    • BirthDay

    • PreferedName

    • Responsibilities

    • Schools

    • Skills

    • PastProjects

    • Interests

    • HireDate

    • EmployeeID

    • AboutMe

    • MySite

    • ImAddresses

    • FaxNumber

    • OtherMails

    For more information about editing property mapping rules in the Synchronization Editor, see the One Identity Manager Target System Synchronization Reference Guide.

Configuration parameters for managing an Azure Active Directory environment

The following configuration parameters are available in One Identity Manager after the module has been installed.

Table 47: Configuration parameters
Configuration parameter Description

TargetSystem | AzureAD

Preprocessor relevant configuration parameter for controlling database model components for Azure Active Directory target system administration. If the parameter is set, the target system components are available. Changes to this parameter require the database to be recompiled.

If you disable the configuration parameter at a later date, model components and scripts that are not longer required, are disabled. SQL procedures and triggers are still carried out. For more information about the behavior of preprocessor relevant configuration parameters and conditional compiling, see the One Identity Manager Configuration Guide.

TargetSystem | AzureAD | Accounts

Allows configuration of user account data.

TargetSystem | AzureAD | Accounts |
InitialRandomPassword

Specifies whether a random password is generated when a new user account is added. The password must contain at least those character sets that are defined in the password policy.

TargetSystem | AzureAD | Accounts |
InitialRandomPassword | SendTo

Employee to receive an email with the random generated password (manager cost center/department/location/role, employee’s manager or XUserInserted). If no recipient can be found, the password is sent to the address stored in the TargetSystem | AzureAD | DefaultAddress configuration parameter.

TargetSystem | AzureAD | Accounts |
InitialRandomPassword | SendTo |
MailTemplateAccountName

Mail template name that is sent to supply users with the login credentials for the user account. The Employee - new user account created mail template is used.
