____________________________________________________________________
  • Active Directory
     Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft technology used to manage computers and other devices on a network. It is a primary feature of Windows Server, an operating system that runs both local and Internet-based servers.

Active Directory provides several different services: 
1) Domain Services
    Stores centralized data and manages communication between users and domains; includes login authentication and search functionality.
      
2) Certificate Services
      It generates, manages and shares certificates. A certificate uses encryption to enable a user to exchange information over the internet securely with a public key. 

3) Lightweight Directory Services
     Supports directory-enabled applications using the open (LDAP) protocol. Like any Linux computers in your network. 

4) Directory Federation Services
     Provides single-sign-on (SSO) to authenticate a user in multiple web applications in a single session.

5) Rights Management
 It controls information rights and management. AD RMS encrypts content, such as email or Word documents, on a server to limit access.
