On Premise Microsoft Cognitive Services - artificial-intelligence

The data being sent to Cognitive Services (say LUIS) might contain some information which we do not wish to expose outside the enterprise. Therefore , would like to know how can this be achieved??

For LUIS, you can set log=off in the URL you send. That will disable logging of utterances. Document is here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cognitive-services/luis/luis-resources-faq.

You can consider LUIS containers, which only sends necessary billing usage data to Azure.

How to work with "Identity Management Systems"?

This is my first question, so I hope I don't miss a thing. To be clear from the start: I don't expect an answer which dives deep into detail. This is just about getting a general understanding of how to work with this kind of software.
So I don't know if "Identity Management System" is a suitable term for what I mean but when I talk about Identity Management Systems I think of something like Azure AD, which as far as I know provides e.g. web developers the possibility to integrate a way users can authenticate (including access privilege etc.) on their website.
What I'm quite unsure about is how to work with/ integrate such tools in a project. I will try to make it clear with an example: Assuming I have a website let's say this website is a blog. The blog consist of different posts which are stored in my own database which is connected to the website. The posts are written by different users which authenticate with a tool like Azure AD. The user's data is stored somewhere on a server run by e.g. Microsoft. If I want to display the posts togethere with the name, email.... of the user who wrote them, how would I do this?
Is it possible to query the user's data directly from the Identity Management System and display it? This does not sound ideal to me as the consequence would be that data the website uses is stored in two different locations.
Would you kind of copy the user's data from the Identity Management System to the websites database and query it from there? This does not sound like a good solution either because then data would be duplicated.
So whats the "right workflow"?
I appreciate any hints and further information I can get:-)
AFAIK To get the user's information like name, email etc. you can add these claims while generating the JWT token.
To generate access token, you have multiple authentication flows such as Authorization code flow, ROPC flow, Implicit flow.
To add the claims that you need to return with the token, you can make settings like below:
Go to Azure Portal -> Azure Active Directory -> App Registrations -> Your app -> Token configuration -> Add optional claims
When you decode the token via JSON Web Tokens - jwt.io you can find the user information that you need.
To know how to generate access token, you can refer SO Thread which I solved it before.

Is there a way to raise SNOW ticket as notification for query failures in snowflake?

I was going through the integration documents available for snowflake & service now. But, all documents are oddly focussed on sf consuming snow data for analytics. Didn't find anything related to creating tickets for failures at snowflake. Is it possible?
It's not about the monitoring & notification aspect of snowflake but connecting with service now and raise a ticket for query failures (tasks,sp etc.)
Any ideas?
There's no functionality like that as of now. I can recommend you open an Idea for it and if enough customers want it our Product Management will review it.
For the Snowpipe, we found a way to use it. We send the error message to SNS and then we can do a Lambda function to call the Rest API of ServiceNow to create a ticket.
For Task, we find that it is possible to use External Functions to notify to AWS whenever the Task fails, but we haven’t implemented it.
Email is a simple way. You need to determine how your ServiceNow instance is processing emails. We implemented incident creation from Azure App Insights based on emails.
In ServiceNow find the Inbound Action you need to process the email or make one.
ServiceNow provides every instance with an email account
Refer to enter link description here
The instance email is usually xxxx#service-now.com.
If your instance url is "audi.service-now.com", the email would be "audi#service-now.com".
For a PDI dev#servicenowdevelopers.com, e.g.; dev12345#servicenowdevelopers.com

Microsoft Graph API - Azure AD Connect - extensionAttribute

When I try querying extensionAttribute with Graph API (Hybrid Exchange), I cannot get any value.
E.g., if I try: https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/<userid or upn>?$select=extensionAttribute2, I cannot see the value even I know it’s there.
Do you know how to get it properly (or a workaround)?
Thank you
Are these values synced to Azure Active Directory? All properties for the AAD User can be found in the Microsoft Graph API docs here : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/user?view=graph-rest-1.0
It sounds like these are being synced from an AAD Connect environment, so it's most likely you are trying to get the onPremisesExtensionAttributes.
Per the description:
Contains extensionAttributes 1-15 for the user. Note that the individual extension attributes are neither selectable nor filterable. For an onPremisesSyncEnabled user, this set of properties is mastered on-premises and is read-only. For a cloud-only user (where onPremisesSyncEnabled is false), these properties may be set during creation or update.
I suggest taking a look more thoroughly through the documentation in regards to this. In addition to that, as you mentioned Exchange, note that the custom attributes from exchange are the same as the extension attributes. For more info on this see : https://github.com/microsoftgraph/microsoft-graph-docs/issues/5950
This is a separate sort of "Extension Attribute" but I figured I would include this in the answer as well. There is a different extensibility section for the Microsoft Graph, and the docs on this can be found here : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/extensibility-overview
If you see information on these extensions, know that this is separate from the on-prem extensions.

Passing 'Windows Authentication' through REST API?

I have access to a SQL Server DB system that only allowed "Windows Authentication" - that is, use your windows login credential to access the data. (Not using a username-password). It also controls database permissions.
I want to build a REST API for users not familiar with SQL to get data from that server. The problem is, I need to take user's credential to execute the command, not the machine that hosts the REST API. How could I design the system that allow user to pass their login and let the API send query to the server using that specific login?
I found a reference from Microsoft, not sure if it's relevant.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/security/choose-an-authentication-mode?view=sql-server-2017
What you are after is Kerberos delegation, sometimes also known as "double hop". It is not something you have to explicitly implement in your code, as long as you stick with the Microsoft stack; rather, it is a matter of configuration.
This post describes the setup required for the feature to work in sufficient details. You can also find some basic requirements in this help article. For anything beyond that, just google it.

Tableau: How to get an overview of who have accessed a Dashboard?

I am trying to create an overview of the users who have accessed a particular Tableau Dashboard. Preferably, the overview should display statistics of the users' activity on a country level, departmental registration number, region, and the individual user-id of those who have accessed it. I have the data on a local database. However, I cannot find any neat solutions to this online.
I think you can use Tableau Server.
I'm sending you the link http://onlinehelp.tableau.com/current/server/en-us/adminview_bucket.htm.
You have the option to use Administrative views pre-built or get it customised. All the information should be in the right-hand side.
Hope you find this useful.
Thanks
