Active Directory package

Use the Active Directory package to automate actions in the Active Directory. An Active Directory is a directory service provided by Microsoft to assist the admin in managing users across a group or organization.

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.

Before you start

Before you can use the available actions, in the Active Directory package you must perform the following steps:

  1. Establish a connection with the Active Directory using the Connect action. Use this same session name for the other actions. For more details, see Using Connect action for Active Directory.
  2. Use the actions to automate a task.
  3. After you have automated all the Active Directory -related tasks, use the Disconnect action to terminate the connection to the server .
