Why teams connect Azure Active Directory and Exasol

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

Azure Active Directory is the record of who exists and what they can reach; Exasol is where the business measures everything else. The two overlap on people and their access — the same users, groups, roles, and events that Azure Active Directory governs are what security, compliance, and analytics teams want to query in Exasol. Getting them there usually means a brittle export that runs overnight and hands auditors a snapshot that is already out of date.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, Devices, Users, Groups from Azure Active Directory into tables in Exasol in real time, and the connection works in both directions: values computed in Exasol, such as risk scores or access-review decisions, can be written back to attributes in Azure 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 Load CRM and ERP records into Exasol tables on a schedule so analysts query fresh operational data.
  • 02 Sync computed metrics or customer segments from Exasol back into a CRM for sales and marketing use (reverse ETL).
  • 03 Mirror Applications and Service principals into a database or CMDB to track app ownership and credential expiry.
  • 04 Reconcile Entra ID Users and assignedLicenses with an ITSM or finance database to audit license allocation and reclaim unused seats.

Common sync patterns

Access governance on joined data

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

Queryable history for audit and compliance

A continuously synced copy in Exasol 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 Exasol write back to attributes on the matching user in Azure Active Directory, where the identity team can act on them.

What you can sync between Azure Active Directory and Exasol

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.

Azure Active Directory objects Exasol objects How this pairing syncs
Devices /devices registered or joined to the tenant; typically read-only into asset and security databases. Virtual schemas Federated views over external sources; useful for deciding what needs physical replication. Devices is specific to Azure Active Directory and Virtual schemas to Exasol — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users /users in Microsoft Graph; synced two-way — profile attributes, accountEnabled, and assignedLicenses are read out while provisioning writes (create, update, disable, delete) are pushed back. UDF scripts In-database functions that can transform synced data after load. Users is specific to Azure Active Directory and UDF scripts to Exasol — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Groups /groups covering security and Microsoft 365 groups; created, updated, and deleted through Graph, and read into warehouses for entitlement reporting. Users and roles Grant read/write access for the dedicated integration account. Groups is specific to Azure Active Directory and Users and roles to Exasol — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Group memberships Member and owner relationships on /groups/{id}/members; added and removed via the $ref endpoint and tracked for changes with delta query on $select=members. Schemas Namespaces that group the tables a sync reads from or writes into. Group memberships is specific to Azure Active Directory and Schemas to Exasol — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Applications App registrations under /applications; usually read into a database or CMDB for app ownership and credential-expiry tracking. Tables Primary sync target; columnar relational tables written with standard SQL. Applications is specific to Azure Active Directory and Tables to Exasol — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Service principals /servicePrincipals (enterprise apps) plus appRoleAssignments; read for app inventory and access-posture reporting. Views Read-only query surfaces often used as curated sources for reverse ETL. Service principals is specific to Azure Active Directory and Views to Exasol — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Azure Active Directory and Exasol

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.

Azure Active Directory Exasol Sub-second propagation

DetectionAzure Active Directory notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Microsoft Graph delta query (deltaLink tokens returning only changed users and groups, with @removed deletions) paired with change-notification.

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

Exasol Azure Active Directory Interval-based propagation

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

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Azure Active Directory: Resource-unit throttling: roughly 8,000 ResourceUnits per 10 seconds per app for reads on tenants over 500 users, writes near 3,000 requests per 2.5 minutes; 429 responses include a Retry-After header.
  • Exasol: No API quota; concurrency is bounded by cluster resources and session limits.
