IBM Security AD Connector

Many IBM Security customers connect Active Directories to the Verify Privileged Identity Platform. What makes this possible is implementation of the IBM Security Active Directory (AD) Connector. The AD Connector enables secure communication between the Verify Privileged Identity Platform and Active Directories (AD).

Determining Whether You Need the IBM Security AD Connector

The IBM Security AD Connector is a versatile application that ensures secure interactions between various services within your internal network and your platform tenant. The installation of at least one connector is necessary under any of the following conditions:

You intend to use Active Directory as the identity repository for authenticating users on the Verify Privileged Identity Platform.
You consider Configuring IWA to be an adequate method for Active Directory user accounts to access the platform.
You wish to prompt users for RADIUS Authentication, allowing your RADIUS server to verify users on the Verify Privileged Identity Platform. In this scenario, the IBM Security AD Connector functions as a RADIUS client.
You are considering using Privilege Control for Servers.

For enhanced reliability and efficiency, we recommend deploying multiple connectors to enable failover capabilities and load distribution.
