Provisioning user and group identities from Active Directory requires the deployment of an Umbrella Active Directory Connector. This connector securely retrieves non-sensitive user and computer group information from the AD domain controller and communicates that information to Umbrella. This enables you to 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 Virtual Appliances, follow the steps documented in Active Directory Integration with the Virtual Appliances instead.
