Configure Active Directory in Control Room

An Active Directory is a directory service provided by Microsoft to assist the administrators in managing users across a group or organization.

Note:
  • Active Directory is available only on On-Premises deployments.
  • The group Managed Service Account (gMSA) is only supported in the installer for running Control Room services. It is not supported for Active Directory (AD) or LDAP authentication, as it is primarily intended for running Windows services.
.

Using Active Directory, administrators can easily create and manage user accounts, assign permissions, configure group policies, and so on. Automation Workspace uses Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) to read from and edit users in the Active Directory. The server and domain names are combined to create an LDAP path, which is used to connect to the Active Directory.
