Why teams connect Active Directory and Apache Doris

Land the users, groups, and access events from Active Directory in Apache Doris continuously for security analytics, and write computed results back — without building or maintaining a pipeline.

Active Directory is the record of who exists and what they can reach; Apache Doris is where the business measures everything else. The two overlap on people and their access — the same users, groups, roles, and events that Active Directory governs are what security, compliance, and analytics teams want to query in Apache Doris. Getting them there usually means a brittle export that runs overnight and hands auditors a snapshot that is already out of date.

Stacksync syncs Directory roles, Service principals & applications, Organizational units, Organizational contacts from Active Directory into tables in Apache Doris in real time, and the connection works in both directions: values computed in Apache Doris, such as risk scores or access-review decisions, can be written back to attributes in Active Directory where the identity team acts on them. Schema changes are handled, API limits are managed, and the sync is something you configure rather than a pipeline you keep alive.

Common use cases

  • 01 Land CRM and operational database records in Doris for low-latency dashboards over fresh data.
  • 02 Continuously upsert changing records into Unique Key tables so analytics reflect current state rather than append-only history.
  • 03 Two-way sync Users and Groups between Microsoft Entra ID and an HRIS or Postgres so joiners, movers, and leavers provision and deprovision automatically.
  • 04 Read Users, Groups, and directoryRole assignments into a warehouse for periodic access reviews and SOC 2 audit evidence.

Common sync patterns

Queryable history for audit and compliance

A continuously synced copy in Apache Doris gives you a durable, queryable record of identity and access state for access reviews, SOC 2, and audit questions.

Risk and review results back on the account

Risk scores, anomaly flags, or access-review outcomes computed in Apache Doris write back to attributes on the matching user in Active Directory, where the identity team can act on them.

Directory data in the warehouse, minus the pipeline

Users, groups, and roles from Active Directory arrive in Apache Doris as queryable tables, current within seconds instead of a nightly directory export.

What you can sync between Active Directory and Apache Doris

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Active Directory objects Apache Doris objects How this pairing syncs
Organizational contacts Directory contact objects (orgContact); synced for shared address-book and CRM person records. Materialized Views Precomputed views readable for downstream syncs and BI. Organizational contacts is specific to Active Directory and Materialized Views to Apache Doris — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users User accounts in Entra ID and on-prem AD DS; synced two-way to create, update attributes, and enable or disable accounts. Users and Roles Principals used to grant the sync connection scoped access. Users is specific to Active Directory and Users and Roles to Apache Doris — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Groups Security and Microsoft 365 groups; synced two-way including name, type, and owner, with membership tracked separately. Databases Logical containers that scope connections and grants. Groups is specific to Active Directory and Databases to Apache Doris — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Group memberships Member and owner links between users and groups; membership add/remove changes are surfaced by delta query. Tables Columnar tables in one of Doris's table models, used as sync destinations. Group memberships is specific to Active Directory and Tables to Apache Doris — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Devices Registered and joined device objects; typically read into a database for inventory and compliance reporting. Unique Key Tables Tables supporting primary-key upserts, the natural target for row-level syncs. Devices is specific to Active Directory and Unique Key Tables to Apache Doris — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Directory roles Admin role assignments (directoryRole); read for access reviews and least-privilege governance. Aggregate Key Tables Tables that pre-aggregate on load, used for metric rollups. Directory roles is specific to Active Directory and Aggregate Key Tables to Apache Doris — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Active Directory and Apache Doris

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Active Directory Apache Doris Sub-second propagation

DetectionActive Directory notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Microsoft Graph delta query (change tracking) for Users and Groups, plus change-notification subscriptions (webhooks) for near-real-time triggers.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Apache Doris as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Apache Doris Active Directory Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Apache Doris for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on partition or timestamp columns for reads.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Active Directory through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Active Directory: Graph throttles by resource-unit cost per app per tenant in 10-second windows (about 3,500–8,000 units by tenant size); directory delta tokens expire after ~7 days.
  • Apache Doris: No API quotas; load throughput depends on cluster resources and load-job configuration.

How the Active Directory and Apache Doris connectors work

Active Directory

Integration surface
Microsoft Graph REST API (Entra ID / cloud) and LDAP/LDAPS (on-premises AD DS)
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 via the Microsoft identity platform — an app registration with application or delegated permissions (e.g. User.ReadWrite.All, Group.ReadWrite.All) and admin consent; on-prem AD DS uses a bound service account over LDAPS.
Change detection
Microsoft Graph delta query (change tracking) for Users and Groups, plus change-notification subscriptions (webhooks) for near-real-time triggers; on-prem AD DS uses the DirSync control and uSNChanged polling.
Capabilities
read · write · webhooks
Rate limits
Graph throttles by resource-unit cost per app per tenant in 10-second windows (about 3,500–8,000 units by tenant size); directory delta tokens expire after ~7 days.

Apache Doris

Integration surface
MySQL wire protocol for SQL access; HTTP APIs (such as Stream Load) for bulk ingestion
Authentication
Database credentials
Change detection
Polling on partition or timestamp columns for reads; ingestion into Doris is push-based via load jobs
Capabilities
