Configure an AD Connector directory (Preview)

You can configure an AD Connector directory to sync users from an on-premises Active Directory using a lightweight AD Connector native Windows application. Changes made to your Active Directory are automatically synced with Identity as a Service. You do not need to trigger synchronization.

To configure an AD Connector directory, you need to do the following:

  1. Optional. Create custom user attributes. See Create and manage user attributes.
  2. Download and install the AD Connector and add AD Connector groups. (See Install AD Connector and add groups
  3. Add the AD Connector directory. (See Add AD Connector directory)
  4. Create a resource rule to protect access to the AD Connector directory (see Create and manage resource rules).

Password change behavior​

When you change an AD Connector password, a password change will result in two password authentication events in the Identity as a Service AD Connector user authentication event log on the machine where AD Connector is installed.
