Integrating with Microsoft Active Directory (AD)

Step-by-Step Integration Process

1. Access the IAM Solution Dashboard: Log in as an administrator and navigate to the “Settings > AD Settings” or “User Management > Create New User” section.
2. Select Active Directory: Choose “Microsoft Active Directory” from the list of supported identity providers.
3. Configure AD Settings: You will need to provide the following details to connect to your Active Directory:

• Domain Name: The domain name of your AD server.
• AD Server IP/Host: The IP address or hostname of your AD server.
• Port: The port number (typically 389 for LDAP or 636 for LDAPS).
• Service Account Credentials: A service account that has read access to the AD.

4. Enable Secure LDAP (LDAPS): To secure communication, ensure LDAPS is enabled on your Active Directory server, and configure the certificate if needed.
5. Map User Attributes: Map AD attributes to IAM user fields, such as:

• AD Username → IAM Username
• AD Email → IAM Email Address
• AD Groups → IAM Roles/Groups

6. Test the Connection: Use the "Test Connection" feature to ensure the IAM solution can successfully communicate with your Active Directory.
7. Sync Users and Groups: Once the connection is successful, you can import and synchronize users and groups from AD to the IAM solution.
8. Configure SSO: If required, configure Single Sign-On (SSO) using SAML or OAuth for Active Directory authentication.
9. Save and Apply: Save the integration settings, and the AD connection will be live.
