Provisioning user and group identities from Active Directory requires the deployment of an Umbrella Active Directory (AD) Connector. The Umbrella AD Connector securely retrieves non-sensitive user and computer group information from the AD domain controller and communicates that information to Umbrella. Once your user and group identity information is provisioned, you can create and enforce AD group-based rules or policies and view AD user-based reports.

If you are looking to set up Active Directory integration with the Umbrella Virtual Appliances (VAs), follow the steps documented in Active Directory Integration with the Virtual Appliances instead.
