Microsoft Active Directory
Microsoft Active Directory is a directory service that helps the windows administrator manage permissions and control access to the network resources. Most organizations use Microsoft's Active Directory as a system of record of their users and define their roles and access.
The key features of the Active Directory are as follows:
- Access controls/permissions
- Data security
- Multi-factor authentication
- Password management
- Single sign on
- Endpoint management
- Credential management
Therefore, Microsoft Active Directory allows the administrators to authorize and authenticate multiple network resources. You can easily integrate it with botsplash to synchronize users and provide single sign-on (SSO).

FAQs
Does Active Directory integrate with third-party applications?
Yes! Active Directory offers LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) capabilities, allowing integration with many third-party applications. Additionally, some third-party tools offer connectors or plugins specifically designed to work with Active Directory for user provisioning and authentication.
Can I use Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) with Active Directory?
Absolutely! While not built-in, Active Directory can be configured to work with various MFA solutions. This adds an extra layer of security by requiring a second verification factor beyond just a username and password.
Does Active Directory offer mobile device management (MDM) functionalities?
While not a core function, Active Directory can integrate with MDM solutions. This allows for centralized user access management and security policies across mobile devices like smartphones and tablets.
Can you synchronize Active Directory with cloud-based identity solutions?
Yes! Microsoft offers Azure AD Connect, a tool that allows synchronization between your on-premises Active Directory and Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) for a hybrid identity management solution. This can be beneficial for organizations with both cloud and on-premise resources.
