Active Directory

Overview

Active Directory is Microsoft’s primary authentication service widely used in Enterprise organizations and even via Microsoft’s cloud services. While Active Directory also supports LDAP protocol support (which Conduit can integrate with as well), the main Active Directory integration can also be utilized. It is even possible to map Active Directory groups to equivalent Roles within Conduit .

Note

To use Active Directory, a valid / trusted SSL certificate must be in place on the Active Directory services (self signed will not work).

  1. Navigate to Administration -> Tenants

  2. Select a Tenant

  3. Select IDENTITY SOURCES

  4. Select + IDENTITY SOURCE
