AD (Active Directory) is Microsoft’s directory service for Windows domain networks, providing centralized authentication and authorization services for network resources. This enterprise-level identity management system enables administrators to organize and control network elements including users, computers, and other resources through a hierarchical structure.
Active Directory serves as the foundation for network security and access management in Windows environments, storing information about network objects and making this data available to users and administrators. When integrated with TSplus, it enables seamless user authentication and resource access management.
