Multi-instance active directory

If you are a zone-local administrator, you can create your own AD instance, even if the AD instance for the same domain is already created globally or in another access zone.

Previously, only one connection to Active Directory was enabled, and the name of the Active Directory provider had to be the same as the name of the domain to which it was connecting. With the introduction of zone-local authentication providers, zone-local administrators can create their own Active Directory provider, and be able to modify its parameters. To perform this action, you must do two things:

  • Create a new provider instance name for this provider
  • Create a new machine account for this provider connection

An AD provider may have a name different than its domain name, using -instance. Then commands can use the instance name to find the particular AD provider. Each access zone can have only one AD provider.
