Azure AD integration

This article will guide you through directory syncing with Azure AD. This configuration is recommended if no on-premise Active Directory exists. If you have on-premise AD servers it is recommended to use the on-premise AD integration.

If you would like your users to use SSO to sign in we recommend configuring that first. Get started here.

  1. Install the Azure modules in PowerShell
  2. Create an Azure Secure application connection
  3. Set the environment variables
  4. Run the Azure AD sync script
  5. Scheduling regular Sync with Task Scheduler
  6. Some considerations

Install the Azure modules in PowerShell

  1. Login to a computer you will run a scheduled PowerShell script from, this is usually a domain controller or file server.
  2. Open PowerShell ISE and run the following commands
    a. install-module msonline and select "Yes to All" at the prompt
    b. Install-Module AzureAD and select "Yes to All" at the prompt

Create an Azure Secure application connection

  1. In PowerShell ISE create a new file
  2. Copy the below script into the file
  3. Save the File As "Azure-App-Setup.ps1"
  4. Run the script and follow the prompts in the script, it will ask you to authenticate to your Azure instance as well as some variable names.
    You will be prompted for the following information:
    • Choose a password for the Azure secure application
    • Your AzureAD secure login
    • A PFX folder path file name
    • A name you would like to use or your Dashlane Connection in Azure

  1. Run the following script:

    #Connect to AzureAD using the GUI prompt
Write-Host "Connecting to AzureAD..." -foregroundcolor yellow
Connect-AzureAD
Write-Host "Connected to AzureAD" -foregroundcolor green
  
#Enter your environment specific details.
Write-Host "Requesting a secure password..." -foregroundcolor yellow

$FilePathPFX = Read-Host "Enter a filename and path for saving the .pfx file EG C:\filepath\cert.pfx" # Enter in a filepath & name where the generated cert will be saved.
$DashlaneAppName = Read-host "Enter a name for the Dashlane Azure App, it can be anything"

  1. Once you enter your information you will be prompted to review and press enter to continue.

  2. The script will finish and provide some outputs you will use in the AD sync script.
  3. Leave the Output window open, and create a new file in PowerShell ISE.

    image2019-11-6_15-36-49.png

Set the environment variables

  1. Copy the following script to the new file in PowerShell ISE and Save AS "Azure-AD-Sync-Script.ps1" 
    # Dashlane Azure AD Sync Script
# This script is to be used after you have registered a secure Azure Application to securely connect.
 
#Define your variables
$INSTALL_TOKEN = "TextString"       #Line 42 from the AD sync script from the Admin Console

}
  2. Login to Console.Dashlane.com > Settings > Active Directory
  3. Turn on the option for Automatic User Provisioning and Group Syncing
  4. Click the Copy button next to the AD Script and paste it in a new tab in PowerShell ISE
  5. Save the file and name it "Default-AD-Script.ps1"
  6. You should have 3 scripts open now in PowerShell ISE, as well as the output window

    image2019-11-6_15-45-33.png
  7. Edit lines 5-9 in the AzureAD-Sync-Script using the environment variables below. After you have entered your variables it will look something like the image above.

    $INSTALL_TOKEN = "BIvG4Jd6Y8PWX7Gli0nQAkHYoozzzzzz0CxMncY6dDvm6z5cbWZYVD-"
    From line 42 of the Default-AD-Script

    $TEAM_ID = "123456"
    From line 43 of the Default-AD-script

    $TenantID = "60f8366e-282f-460f-91ef-4zzzbbe6445"
    From the tenantID from the Azure App-Setup script

    $AppID = "c0023c85-9358-46e7-8a71-aezzzz4c9606"
    From the output of the AppID from the Azure App Setup script

    $Thumb = "6BA63A586294299Fzzzzz15939445A115A4C"
    From the output of the Thumbprint ID from the Azure App Setup script

  8. Enter the Azure Groups you would like to sync using the ObjectID of the group on line 22
  9. Run the script and ensure it sync's successfully
  10. Ensure the script returns "code":200,"message":"OK" 
  11. Copy the text string between the dashes to your clipboard
  12. Navigate back to http://console.dashlane.com and Refresh the page
  13. In the "Verify the security key..." pop-up, click Continue

    image-1.png
  14. Enter the text string from your clipboard you copied from step 10 into the text field and click Verify now

    image-2.png
  15. Success! You will receive this message when the key has been verifiedimage-3.png

Run the Azure AD sync script

  1. In the Admin Console view the Users tab and validate that any new users have an invite pending status

    tac_main_page_1.png
  2. On the Groups tab view the groups that have synced

    user_groups.png
  3. You can view your AD sync status in the Admin Console in Settings > Active Directory
  4. It is recommended to turn on Automatic Deprovisioning once you have confirmed that all synced users are included in the Active Directory sync groups.

Scheduling regular Sync with Task Scheduler

With the script saved to your domain, you can schedule it to run automatically at an interval you define.

Note that the user account set to run this task must be able to read Organizational Units (OU's) and user accounts in your Active Directory environment.

  1. Open Task Scheduler on a Windows Server that will run the script
  2. Select Task Scheduler Library 
  3. Click the Action tab in the top left menu
  4. Then click “Create Task” 
  5. Next click the General tab
  6. Type Dashlane AD Sync in the "Name:" text box
  7. Next select Security Options
  8. Within Security Options: Check the boxes for "Run whether user is logged in or not" and "Run with highest privileges"
  9. Please set a schedule for the script to run by creating a new trigger. In the example shown below, it will run daily at 1:00 AM.

    Pasted_image_at_2017_09_21_09_56_PM.png

  10. Then, click the Actions tab.

    a. Click New Action
    b. Under "Program/script," type in powershell
    c. Under "Add arguments (optional)", paste -file C:\FilePathtoPowershellScript\dashlane-ad-sync.ps1

     AD-editAction.png

Some considerations

  • Once sync is configured, we recommend managing your Dashlane groups and users exclusively via your Active Directory.
  • All users considered by the script must have a specified email address in Active Directory
  • Admins cannot deprovision all admin users, as there must be at least one active admin for every business plan.
  • Admins also cannot deprovision billing admins, as there must be at least one active billing admin for every business plan.
  • The number of users in the synced groups must not be higher than the available seats in your business account.
