You can use the Azure Active Directory connector from the CData Sync application to capture data from Azure Active Directory and move it to any supported destination. To do so, you need to add the connector, authenticate to the connector, and complete your connection.

Establish a Connection

To allow Sync to use data from Azure Active Directory, you first must establish a connection to Azure Active Directory. Follow these steps to connect Azure Active Directory to your Sync account:

1. Open the Connections page of the Sync dashboard.

2. Click Add Connection to open the Select Connectors page.

3. Click the Sources tab and locate the Azure Active Directory row.

4. Click the Configure Connection icon at the end of that row. If you do not see the Configure Connection icon, you need to add the connector according to the instructions in Connections.

5. Enter connection settings on the Settings tab:

   • Connection Name - Enter a connection name of your choice.

   • Auth Scheme - Select your authentication scheme below to proceed to the relevant section for your scheme. Then fill out the settings as specified in that section.

     • AzureAD
     • AzureMSI
     • AzureServicePrincipal
     • AzureServicePrincipalCert

6. Click Connect to AzureAD to connect to your Active Directory account.

7. Click Create & Test to create the connection.

8. Define advanced connection settings on the Advanced tab. (In most cases, though, you should not need these settings.)
