Configure Active Directory with Identity Connector

Active Directory (AD) is supported in Secure Workload through an Identity Connector as a source for identity management. The Identity Connector is designed to integrate with AD to authenticate users and manage their access to resources within the Secure Workload environment.

Create an Identity Connector for Active Directory (AD) in Secure Workload to establish communication with AD.

Procedure

1

From the navigation pane, choose Manage > Workloads > Connectors.

2

Choose Identity Connector and click Configure your new connector here.
