Why teams connect Active Directory and SingleStore

Close the gap between your application data and your directory: SingleStore and Active Directory share users, groups, and access in real time, in both directions.

Active Directory is the system of record for who people are and what they can reach: users, the groups they belong to, and the applications assigned to them. SingleStore holds the operational data those same people show up in, whether an employee or member table that decides who should have an account at all, a customers list, or the rows an application checks before it authorizes an action. The two describe overlapping users and groups, and when a nightly export or a hand-run script is all that connects them, accounts lag joiners and leavers and the application authorizes against a stale picture of who has access.

Stacksync syncs Reference Tables, Pipelines, Stored Procedures, Indexes and Shard Keys in SingleStore with Devices, Directory roles, Service principals & applications, Organizational units in Active Directory field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields, with the directory holding credentials and group membership and the database holding the source list of people who should exist at all, and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent, resolving conflicts by rules you set. A person added to a table becomes an account within seconds, a departure disables one just as fast, and the directory's users and groups are always present in your tables as ordinary rows.

Common use cases

  • 01 Consolidate data from transactional databases and SaaS apps into one store that handles both lookups and scans.
  • 02 Keep reference data consistent between SingleStore and application databases.
  • 03 Read Devices and service principals into a database for identity, asset, and license inventory across the tenant.
  • 04 Two-way sync Users and Groups between Microsoft Entra ID and an HRIS or Postgres so joiners, movers, and leavers provision and deprovision automatically.

Common sync patterns

Provision accounts from the source of truth

When a person is added to the employee, member, or customer table in SingleStore, Stacksync creates the matching user in Active Directory with the right attributes, so access starts from live data instead of a manual ticket.

Deprovision the moment the record changes

When someone is marked inactive or removed in SingleStore, the matching account in Active Directory is disabled within seconds, closing the window between a departure and a login that still works.

Read users and groups as ordinary tables

Users, groups, and their memberships from Active Directory land in SingleStore as rows your application and queries can join, so authorization checks and access reporting run against the database instead of the directory API.

What you can sync between Active Directory and SingleStore

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 SingleStore objects How this pairing syncs
Group memberships Member and owner links between users and groups; membership add/remove changes are surfaced by delta query. Databases The connection target containing the tables a sync addresses. Group memberships is specific to Active Directory and Databases to SingleStore — 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. Tables (rowstore and columnstore) Primary read/write target; storage type affects whether a table suits point lookups or scans. Devices is specific to Active Directory and Tables (rowstore and columnstore) to SingleStore — 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. Views Read-only projections used as curated sync sources. Directory roles is specific to Active Directory and Views to SingleStore — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Service principals & applications App registrations and enterprise apps; read-mostly for entitlement and license inventory. Reference Tables Small tables replicated to every node, often used for dimension data in syncs. Service principals & applications is specific to Active Directory and Reference Tables to SingleStore — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Organizational units On-prem AD DS containers (LDAP organizationalUnit) used to scope which users and groups a sync includes. Pipelines Native ingestion jobs from Kafka or object storage that coexist with external syncs. Organizational units is specific to Active Directory and Pipelines to SingleStore — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Organizational contacts Directory contact objects (orgContact); synced for shared address-book and CRM person records. Stored Procedures Existing logic sometimes invoked on write paths. Organizational contacts is specific to Active Directory and Stored Procedures to SingleStore — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Active Directory and SingleStore

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 SingleStore 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 SingleStore as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

SingleStore Active Directory Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls SingleStore for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on timestamp or watermark columns.

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.
  • SingleStore: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by workspace or cluster size.

How the Active Directory and SingleStore 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.

SingleStore

Integration surface
SQL over the MySQL wire protocol; an HTTP Data API is also available for SQL over REST
Authentication
Database credentials
Change detection
Polling on timestamp or watermark columns; the platform also provides change-observation features in recent versions
Capabilities
