Why teams connect Active Directory and Teradata Vantage

Land the users, groups, and access events from Active Directory in Teradata Vantage 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; Teradata Vantage 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 Teradata Vantage. Getting them there usually means a brittle export that runs overnight and hands auditors a snapshot that is already out of date.

Stacksync syncs Groups, Group memberships, Devices, Directory roles from Active Directory into tables in Teradata Vantage in real time, and the connection works in both directions: values computed in Teradata Vantage, 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 Sync curated Vantage tables into a CRM so frontline teams act on warehouse-computed customer attributes
  • 02 Land SaaS and ERP data into Vantage to join with existing enterprise history
  • 03 Keep security-group memberships aligned with application entitlement tables so access reflects the right teams as they change.
  • 04 Read Devices and service principals into a database for identity, asset, and license inventory across the tenant.

Common sync patterns

Directory data in the warehouse, minus the pipeline

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

Access and sign-in analytics

Sign-in and access events from Active Directory land in Teradata Vantage, so security and compliance teams can query who reached what, and when, alongside the rest of the business's data.

Access governance on joined data

Join Active Directory's users and group memberships with HR, product, and usage data already in Teradata Vantage to surface who holds access they no longer need.

What you can sync between Active Directory and Teradata Vantage

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 Teradata Vantage objects How this pairing syncs
Users User accounts in Entra ID and on-prem AD DS; synced two-way to create, update attributes, and enable or disable accounts. Users In Teradata, users are databases with a password, and they own objects and space. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Groups Security and Microsoft 365 groups; synced two-way including name, type, and owner, with membership tracked separately. Tables The primary sync unit for both extraction and loading. Groups is specific to Active Directory and Tables to Teradata Vantage — 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. Views The conventional access layer in Teradata shops; syncs often read views rather than base tables. Group memberships is specific to Active Directory and Views to Teradata Vantage — 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. Macros Stored parameterized SQL that encapsulates repeatable reads. Devices is specific to Active Directory and Macros to Teradata Vantage — 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. Stored procedures Server-side logic sometimes invoked as part of load workflows. Directory roles is specific to Active Directory and Stored procedures to Teradata Vantage — 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. Columns Teradata SQL types mapped to the paired system's field types during sync. Service principals & applications is specific to Active Directory and Columns to Teradata Vantage — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Active Directory and Teradata Vantage

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

Teradata Vantage Active Directory Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Teradata Vantage for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Query-based polling.

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.
  • Teradata Vantage: Concurrency is governed by workload management rules on the system rather than API quotas.

How the Active Directory and Teradata Vantage 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.

Teradata Vantage

Integration surface
ANSI SQL over JDBC/ODBC/.NET drivers; REST access available through Teradata's query service
Authentication
Database credentials; LDAP or Kerberos in enterprise deployments
Change detection
Query-based polling; the SQL surface exposes no externally consumable change log
