We have an enterprise application in our Azure AD tenant where we have enabled automatic user provisioning to provision users in the external service. We have assigned several groups to the application, and the provisioning scope is set to Sync only assigned users and groups. This currently provisions all users in the groups assigned to the enterprise application.
We would like to add an additional scope filter, so that we can provision members of the assigned groups that is also a member of a different group (which is not directly assigned to the enterprise application). I've looked at adding a scope filter, but none of the available attributes seems to be usable for checking group membership. I imagined I would find something like an isMemberOf target attribute, but this does not seem to exist.
Is is possible to achieve such scope filtering?
As the article said, The IsMemberOf filter is not supported currently.

So... this question is maybe not solely a programming question but I hope one of you can shed some light on my issue:
The base need we have in our software is to query the groups a user is associated too with
LDAP. For this task we actually use parts of LDAP Admin to query the user. Actually we want to query for the UserPrincipalName which at least to my knowledge is the most common way right?
So.. our problem is that the AD is setup such that the user has an UPN like foo#HUS
but the user actually is bound to the domain HUS.adomain.com (aka LDAP base: dc=HUS,dc=adomain,dc=com) and searching using an UPN like foo#HUS.adomain.com does not work - only foo#HUS works. So... the question is:
Is this common?
And is there a name/resource for that?
(sorry I'm quite new to that all...)
The goal would be to use as less parameters in the administration tool as possible
aka only the base (and form from the base the UPN username).
Update: I found at least one resource (in German) that states that this is possible but not recommended by Microsoft for Azure AD. (aka having a different mail address than UPN )
When you initiate a LDAP search using a UPN like foo#HUS.adomain.com it wont work because this value is not present in the userPrincipalName value. When you search for a user by building its UPN using all the domain suffix available in the forest, then you would not consider searching the userPrincipalName attribute.
It is very difficult to build every constructed attribute from base for querying because every Active directory environment would be different. As you have mentioned that you would like to build the attribute from base, it may work if this is the only AD infra that you are targeting. Every AD infra would have its own ways in which it will be setup.
However if you would want your tool to work in any AD environment you would have to consider some other parameters.
UPN is a editable attribute . An organization can set it up or can create a user without a UPN value. Below is example of user created programmatically by using old ADSI libraries. You can repro the same by removing any users userprincipalName attribute value and the user logon account name as shown in the pictures below.
UPN is an optional attribute and a user account can be present in AD without it as well. Coming back to your specific environment in this environment only foo#HUS works because "HUS" might be setup as a valid domain suffix within the Active directory. You can check this by opening the domain.msc console on any domain controller or a machine with Remote Server Administration Tools installed. You would find the UPN suffix as shown below . I changed it in my environment as shown below.
The value you will add will now show up in the . If you remove HUS from here for example any existing user who have user#HUS userPrincipalName populated will get removed because this is a optional constructed attribute in AD. And you will have to setup this for all the users in the environment . For example check below after I changed the username to dh # HUS .
The userprincipalName value also got populated with the same.
Hope this helps clarify your query and understand more on how to use the native Active directory tools to understand more while you develop your custom LDAP search functionality/tool.
Is it possible to have multiple profiles for a PIM role within Azure? If not, is this something that is on the roadmap?
Question from customer: "as you know you can customize the roles to specify the window for that privilege, the approvers and so on. Could you have multiple profiles for each role in the future?"
This is possible with the privileged access groups feature. Simply create two groups, apply different policies and make the users eligible for the group (do not assign the group as eligible, since the members are eligible for the group, which would require them to activate twice). Documentation can be found at aka.ms/pag
Thanks Steve, but what I can see it's only for Azure AD roles, right? It's not possible to assign Azure resources.
Thanks again!
When you create a new privileged access group you can only assign Azure AD roles but not Azure resources roles during the creation, that's what I meant... because with that you can modify the properties for that specific role, in terms of time of the privileged mode, who are the approvers, and so on... will it be available in the future?
Do we know when will it be in GA?
Thanks!!
Ignore assigning roles at group creation time. Simply create the role and enable it for role assignment (this part is required if you want to use it with PIM). Once it's created (even with no AAD roles assigned to it) you can enable the group for Privileged access. After enabling the group for privileged access you can assign members as Eligible, and configure assignment and activation settings for the member and/or owner roles. ETA for GA of this feature (privileged access groups) is end of the calendar year.
My team just "inherited" an Archer setup with 2 ADs and LDAP sync setup for each of them. The LDAP sync works fine individually; we are able to see the users/groups as per the LDAP configuration's filters. However, we have some groups in AD#1, that contain users from AD#2 and the LDAP sync is only showing/pulling users from 1 AD in Archer. I'm on Archer 6.4.
My question:
Is it possible at all in Archer to get the groups to show members from the 2 AD's?
Does the LDAP service account need any special permissions?
Anything else that I'm missing, or any viable workarounds?
I have looked at this question which talks about some possibilities but it's quite old so starting a new question. Any help is greatly appreciated.
The question you referenced is related to Archer v5.x and v6.x, so everything I mentioned there is still valid as of 2019-04-26.
Back to the questions you asked:
Is it possible at all in Archer to get the groups to show members from the 2 AD's?
The answer is "Yes", but not that simple.
If you check tables on the back end you can see that there are two type of groups:
Manually created groups by Archer admins. These groups are not part of any LDAP source and you can't synch these groups/users.
Groups created via LDAP Synch. These groups and users are synched with LDAP Synch configuration.
In your case, if you have two LDAP synchs configured then you will have two sets of LDAP groups and two sets of LDAP users, assuming LDAP synch is configured to add and synch groups and users using filters correctly.
Based on what you shared if you have group "ABC" in both LDAP sources you will have two groups added to Archer. On the back end in the table tblGroup they will have different "ldap_config_id" values, but same name.
Same applies for users - if you have user "User1" in both LDAP sources you will end up with two users with different domains and different "ldap_config_id".
Back to your question - Yes, if you have two LDAP sources with same group name you will end up with two groups with same name, each group should have users from corresponding LDAP assigned, if you configured both LDAP synchs to add and synch groups and users.
If this doesn't work this way for you, then review your LDAP synch configuration. Your may not have an option enabled to synch groups or don't have any filters in place to get them.
Does the LDAP service account need any special permissions?
In Archer - no, but in LDAP source (Active Directory) the account you specified in LDAP configuration should have access to query certain areas. The account you use for 2nd LDAP may not have access to query groups. I'm not an expert in AD security, you should talk to AD admin on this matter.
Anything else that I'm missing, or any viable workarounds?
See the old question/answer you referenced. LDAP synch principals in Archer v5 and v6 are the same as I know.
Best solution in my opinion is to establish "virtual link" or trust between both Active Directories. Third AD can be created with both AD#1 and AD#2 merged or linked. This way you can query AD#3 and have groups and users provided for you by using only one LDAP synch configuration/Domain. This is the simplest solution for you, but your AD admin will have to do some work.
You can check other options in the old question as well.
P.S: the instance I develop for had 2 LDAP sources, but I configured them to have unique group names and unique users. This way collisions don't occur.
Good luck!
Hahn, I'm uncertain how Archer handles users from two different AD's that members in the same group found in the first AD.
It's best to reach out to Archer support and pose the question to them.
I'm also seen a simlar question in RSA Partner Community. Support may respond to that post then here or other clients that have had the same issue.
I'm trying to add AD groups in TFS. Currently our TFS server version is TFS2013.4.
ct\PERAT2_ROLE_IS_Application_Support_org
Able to add in TFS without any issues.
Group scope = Global
Group type = Security
NOT mail-enabled
ct\perat2_role_abu_imps_offshore_sp_org
Having issue while adding in TFS, below is the error which we are receiving.
Group scope = Universal
Type = Security
mail-enabed
TF400067: Unable to find or resolve the identity.
Does it mean only the Globadl scope groups can be added? how to identify which level scope groups can be added in to our server? Please advice
Based on the message TFS cannot find the identity. So, you need to check the Domain Trusts. The types of trust that can be employed depend on the forest and domain types that are deployed in your company’s network.
Generally, Team Foundation Server users and services must be authenticated so that they can access server components. From a trust relationship point of view, Team Foundation Server must trust the domain where the user or service account is defined.
In your scenario, make sure the Group scope type doesn't affect that. Refer to Group scope to see the differents.
So, you can try to change the group scope from Universal/Domain local to global. If that works, that means the Globadl scope groups works only for you.
In our SonarQube 5.4 we authenticate in Active Directory using LDAP plugin and specifying just one property in sonar.properties:
sonar.security.realm=LDAP
(according to http://docs.sonarqube.org/display/PLUG/Microsoft+Active+Directory)
It's a shame they removed the feature to disable updating user properties on every login:
sonar.security.updateUserAttributes = false
See this:
https://jira.sonarsource.com/browse/SONAR-7219
We've been using it, as update on every login removes assignment of users to SonarQube built-in groups, e.g. sonar-administrators.
I can give individual users whatever rights in Administration > Security > Global Permissions, but I'd prefer to do this for SonarQube groups, as we have lots of users.
Reflecting the whole setup of groups in AD is difficult, as our Infrastructure teams are too slow and bureaucratic
Is there any other way to achieve what we want?
UPDATE
I've tried configuring empty values for group properties:
ldap.group.baseDn=
ldap.group.request=
ldap.group.idAttribute=
But it doesn't help - every login group membership is resynchronized again from AD and membership in internal SQ groups is removed.
In order to disable group synchronisation from LDAP, you can simply remove properties ldap.group.*.
See "Group Mapping" http://docs.sonarqube.org/display/PLUG/LDAP+Plugin.
