Working with Active Directory

One of the most common external identity providers is Microsoft's Active Directory(AD). Trust Protection Platform connects to AD, importing users and groups into Trust Protection Platform. You can connect to your Active Directory source via an IPv4 or an IPv6 connection.

Typically, Active Directory connections are read-only. Trust Protection Platform reads the User and Group data directly from Active Directory in real time so you can log in as an external user, view external users and groups in the Identity tree, select external users or groups as object Contacts, and assign object permissions to external users and groups.

However, Client Protect can publish encryption S/MIME certificates to Active Directory and is available to email systems such as Microsoft Exchange. For more information, see .
