Why teams connect Active Directory and Vertica
Land the users, groups, and access events from Active Directory in Vertica 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; Vertica 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 Vertica. Getting them there usually means a brittle export that runs overnight and hands auditors a snapshot that is already out of date.
Stacksync syncs Organizational contacts, Users, Groups, Group memberships from Active Directory into tables in Vertica in real time, and the connection works in both directions: values computed in Vertica, 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 Consolidate data from multiple operational databases into Vertica schemas for enterprise BI.
- 02 Sync CRM accounts and opportunities into Vertica to join with large-scale behavioral or telemetry data.
- 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
Risk and review results back on the account
Risk scores, anomaly flags, or access-review outcomes computed in Vertica 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 Vertica 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 Vertica, so security and compliance teams can query who reached what, and when, alongside the rest of the business's data.
What you can sync between Active Directory and Vertica
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 | Vertica objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Groups Security and Microsoft 365 groups; synced two-way including name, type, and owner, with membership tracked separately. | Views Logical views used to shape reads for downstream consumers. | Groups is specific to Active Directory and Views to Vertica — 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. | Flex Tables Schema-flexible tables for semi-structured JSON data landed before modeling. | Group memberships is specific to Active Directory and Flex Tables to Vertica — 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. | External Tables Data queried in place on files or object storage without loading. | Devices is specific to Active Directory and External Tables to Vertica — 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. | Schemas Namespaces used to organize synced datasets by domain or source. | Directory roles is specific to Active Directory and Schemas to Vertica — 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. | Tables Columnar tables; the primary read and write targets for syncs. | Service principals & applications is specific to Active Directory and Tables to Vertica — 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. | Projections Sorted, encoded physical copies of table data that the optimizer selects at query time; they affect load and query behavior rather than being addressed directly. | Organizational units is specific to Active Directory and Projections to Vertica — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Active Directory and Vertica
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 Vertica 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 Vertica as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.
Vertica Active Directory Interval-based propagation
DetectionStacksync polls Vertica for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No exposed transaction-log CDC.
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.
- Vertica: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by cluster resources, and bulk COPY is preferred over row-by-row writes.

How the Active Directory and Vertica 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.

FAQ
Active Directory and Vertica integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Active Directory and Vertica: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Active Directory's Groups and Group memberships), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
Stacksync is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified with HIPAA BAA support. Data is encrypted in transit, and a zero-persistent-storage architecture means Active Directory and Vertica records are not retained after a sync operation.
-
Stacksync pricing is usage-based and starts at $1,000/month, including the managed Active Directory and Vertica connectors, real-time two-way sync, monitoring, and support. That replaces building and maintaining a custom Active Directory–Vertica integration in-house.
-
Yes — Stacksync ships production-grade connectors for both Active Directory and Vertica. The connectors handle authentication, schema detection, rate limits, and retries; you configure the sync, and Stacksync operates it.
-
Change detection on Active Directory: 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. On Vertica: No exposed transaction-log CDC; polling on timestamp or epoch columns. Each detected change propagates to the other side in milliseconds, with field-level conflict resolution and an inspectable event log.
-
On the Vertica side: External Tables, Schemas, Tables, Projections, plus custom fields where Vertica exposes them. On the Active Directory side: Organizational contacts, Users, Groups, Group memberships. Stacksync auto-detects both schemas and converts types between the two systems.
