Active Directory is a Microsoft LDAP directory. Active Directory, or AD, is an identity management and authentication service system for Windows-based computer networks. It provides a centralized structure for information about users, computers, devices, and applications, and allows you to control access permissions for these objects. Active Directory is used to facilitate identity management and security on enterprise networks.

Youzer's Active Directory connector enables automated account administration operations on your Active Directory, without requiring you to connect to the server (or servers, if you have multiple Active Directories).
It is therefore possible to automate account creations directly on your Active Directory.
You can thus manage the most common attributes: FirstName, LastName, FullName, DisplayName, Organizational Unit.
It is also possible to view and edit attributes such as EmployeeNumber, JobTitle, LogonScript, etc.
To manage entitlements, you can also view and modify the security groups of the various Active Directory accounts.
Extended Attributes can also be automatically populated when accounts are created, or even modified later.
Password reset for an account can be initiated directly in Youzer (by an administrator or even by an end user thanks to our "AppCenter" self-reset module).
When a user leaves, account suspension can be automated. It is also possible to modify the scripts to customize them and, for example, automatically move the account to an archiving Organizational Unit when a user leaves.
Since Active Directory is installed on your on-premise servers, it is necessary to deploy a Youzer agent on one of the Active Directory servers. This agent will act as a proxy to communicate with the Youzer platform: it is not necessary to open incoming ports on your firewall. The only port to use is 443 outbound.
The exchanges between your Active Directory via the agent and the Youzer platform are doubly encrypted with a hybrid symmetric and asymmetric key.
