Active Directory data source

Active Directory is a Microsoft tool used for systems management.

The Active Directory data source uses a PowerShell connection to bring data into Data Manager . It works with versions of PowerShell up to v5 (v6 and v7 are not supported).

How to connect Active Directory to Data Manager

1. Gather all of the Data Manager type information, including the data source name, short display name, and the data source type.

2. Gather the Active Directory fields – this may require consultation with the Active Directory subject matter expert (SME).

3. In Data Manager, add a new data source by selecting the tool you which to connect and configure with all the gathered information.

Each time this data source is fetched the data becomes raw data.

Data Manager fields

You need to specify the following information from Data Manager:

• Data source name – the name of the data source used to run, transform, map, cleanse, and import the data.

• Short display name – a unique name as a data source label.

• Data source type – what type of data the tool is providing. For example, Assets , CMDB, user location.

Active Directory fields

• AD data source – where the data should come from. Options:

  • ユーザー

  • コンピューター

  • サイト & サービス (サブネット)

• Enable discovery domains – when checked, the data source searches AD DS to identify user accounts and associated attributes.

• Target domains – domains you want to connect, separated by commas.

• Username – account with read‑only access to Active Directory.

• Password – password for that account.

認証と承認

Authentication and authorization are handled by the data source using PowerShell.

• The Adapters client uses Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT) to run the PowerShell query.

• You need a RSAT‑enabled server for the PowerShell call to work.

• If domains listed under Target domains have different credentials, configure them as separate data source connections. They can then be brought together into one data source using the Data Source Aggregate data source.
