I am fairly new to the Azure development world. I have been tasked to integrate an on-premise active directory with the cloud Azure SQL database( Managed Instance).
The task is to pull the identity data from on-prem AD and pump it into a SQL table in the managed SQL instance on Azure. Can ADF connect on-prem AD with cloud Azure SQL?.
Can someone show me some pointers on this? please
Answer
You’re being downvoted most likely because you haven’t done your homework.
You’ll need to sync the on-prem accounts from the Active Directory Domain Controller (AD DC) to Azure Active Directory (AAD), this can be done by using any of the following:
- Azure AD Connect: this give you so many options and total control on how to sync your local AD objects to the cloud, it’s a mess to learn if you’re very new to the cloud: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/hybrid/whatis-azure-ad-connect
- Azure AD Cloud Sync: the new replacment of Azure AD Connect, it’s much to install and use compared to Azure AD Connect: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/cloud-sync/what-is-cloud-sync
Once you sync your accounts to the cloud, you should be able to add them to SQL: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/authentication-aad-overview
