Active Directory Documentation


Component: Active Directory

URL: https://www.outsystems.com/forge/component-overview/11126/active-directory-library

What is it for?

Active Directory is a directory service that employs the LDAP protocol and is a Microsoft service. Many companies utilize it because of its simplicity of use and connectivity with other Microsoft products.

Although OutSystems currently supports AD login, you can use this component to expand CRUD operations to users and groups.

Why should you use it?

If you've heard of LDAP, you're aware of how unpleasant it can be at times. To get the information you need, you must deal with paths, usernames, and passwords, as well as search through a long variety of attributes.

OutSystems supports LDAP and Active Directory authentication.

If you have Active Directory setup, use that instead of LDAP. It will allow you to easily access groups and users (without the need for usernames and passwords), manage your directory, and import users and groups with complete information.

What’s included?


Installing this component includes everything you need to connect to and operate with your AD.

It's a wrapper for this component's library APIs, which employ tokens to identify connections. It also contains a sample app for configuring connections and managing users and groups.

The Component

The component contains all of the logical parts required to connect to your AD and get user and group information.

Every call to an AD library activity requires the establishment of the Directory Entry connection:
