Active Directory Settings

An active directory is a directory structure used on Microsoft Windows-based computers and servers to store information and data about networks and domains. An active directory (sometimes referred to as AD) does a variety of functions including the ability to provide information on objects. It also helps to organize these objects for easy retrieval and access, allows access by end users and administrators, and allows the administrator to set security up for the directory.

In TSM application, Active Directory allows you to configure the Active Directory server settings. The displayed table shows any configured role groups and the available slots. You can modify, add, or delete role groups from here. A group domain can be the AD domain or a trusted domain. A group name should correspond to the name of an actual AD group.

To open the Active directory Settings page, click Settings > External User Services > Active Directory Settings.
