Microsoft Active Directory

Configure Microsoft Active Directory connection, directory search, attribute mapping, and save/validation.

ACTIVE DIRECTORY

Connect identity, then map it into STRATUM

Configure the directory endpoint and bind settings, define the search scope, then map directory attributes into the identity fields STRATUM uses. Use values from the target Active Directory environment rather than copying example domain names or paths.

Authentication proves the external identity. STRATUM authorization still determines what that user can do, so complete the Users, Groups & Roles configuration after the provider is working.

REFERENCE 01

Active Directory Directory Search

Set the directory search base and search settings so STRATUM can find the intended user/group scope without searching unrelated directory branches.

Active Directory Save Success

After saving, STRATUM reports that the directory configuration loaded successfully. Continue only after the connection and mapping settings save without error.

RESULT

The outcome you should see

The provider saves successfully and directory search/mapping settings match the intended Active Directory environment.
