Why teams connect Azure Active Directory and OCI Database (Oracle Cloud)

Close the gap between your application data and your directory: OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) and Azure Active Directory share users, groups, and access in real time, in both directions.

Azure 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. OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) 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 Views, Materialized views, Schemas, Sequences in OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) with Groups, Group memberships, Applications, Service principals in Azure 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 Replicate operational tables from OCI to an analytics warehouse with log-based CDC instead of nightly batch dumps.
  • 02 Run on-prem Oracle and OCI side by side during a cloud migration while keeping both ends writable.
  • 03 Sync manager, department, and jobTitle from an HRIS back onto Entra ID User attributes to keep dynamic groups and Conditional Access accurate.
  • 04 Replicate Groups and their Members into a Postgres warehouse for access reviews and entitlement reporting.

Common sync patterns

One profile, kept current

A name, department, email, or manager corrected in either system updates the other, so the profile the directory shows and the data the application reads stop drifting apart.

Provision accounts from the source of truth

When a person is added to the employee, member, or customer table in OCI Database (Oracle Cloud), Stacksync creates the matching user in Azure 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 OCI Database (Oracle Cloud), the matching account in Azure Active Directory is disabled within seconds, closing the window between a departure and a login that still works.

What you can sync between Azure Active Directory and OCI Database (Oracle Cloud)

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 OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) objects How this pairing syncs
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. JSON collections Document-style storage in the converged engine, synced alongside relational tables Group memberships is specific to Azure Active Directory and JSON collections to OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) — 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. Partitions Physical table subdivisions relevant when replicating large fact tables Applications is specific to Azure Active Directory and Partitions to OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) — 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. Tables The primary sync surface; rows are read and written directly over SQL Service principals is specific to Azure Active Directory and Tables to OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Directory roles /directoryRoles and roleManagement assignments; read for privileged-access reviews, with role-assignment writes where the granted scopes permit. Views Read-only projections used to expose curated subsets to downstream systems Directory roles is specific to Azure Active Directory and Views to OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Devices /devices registered or joined to the tenant; typically read-only into asset and security databases. Materialized views Precomputed result sets sometimes used as stable read sources for replication Devices is specific to Azure Active Directory and Materialized views to OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) — 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. Schemas Namespace boundaries that scope which objects a sync connection can access Users is specific to Azure Active Directory and Schemas to OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Azure Active Directory and OCI Database (Oracle Cloud)

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 OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) 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 OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) Azure Active Directory Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Log-based CDC from redo logs (LogMiner or GoldenGate), or timestamp polling.

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.
  • OCI Database (Oracle Cloud): Throughput bounded by instance sizing rather than API quotas.
