Connecting Identity Security Insights to Microsoft Active Directory
Introduction
Identity Security Insights (Insights) connectors allows the integration of first- and third-party identity and account information with the BeyondTrust Insights console. The Insights platform uses this data to build identity analytics, detect identity security threats, and make security recommendations. Once configured, Insights automatically schedules and pulls data from the enabled connectors, and updates the console's dashboards and reports with new or changed recommendations and detections.
Prerequisites
The Microsoft Active Directory connector should be installed and configured on a member server within the Active Directory. The installer is provided for the tenant after completing the initial configuration.
Ensure the following requirements are met before installation:
-
Member Server: The installer must be run on a Windows Server joined to the domain the user would like Insights to access.
-
Service Account: A provisioned on-premises service account for the Active Directory connector to use. This service account requires the following permissions:
-

Registry read access to the ADCS Enrollment Server for the following registry locations
SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\CertSvc\Configuration\\{servername}\\PolicyModule\\CertificateAuthority_MicrosoftDefault.Policy

-
Connectivity: The member server must be able to:
-
Connect to Active Directory using SSL and TCP 636.
