Hello. Sorry, I know that it was necessary to create a topic in RutCode, but there no one answered me for the third day, and not only my question, so I decided to write here. If someone knows, let him answer. I would be very grateful!

What can be done using Active Directory? List me just what you can do with it. Just do not answer "all!". Because I later according to this will learn it all. As if to put me a plan that I learn.

Please do not delete my post. He really matters to me. Thanks in advance!

    Probably it was necessary to ask a question differently - “What is Active Directory for and what functions does it perform?”, Then on the root code you can and would answer;)

    If you need to figure out what Active Directory is, then:

    Basics of studying Here Here

    Just do not forget about MSDN

      For example, there is an Active Directory Fedration Service that implements single sign-on (Single Sing-On).

      Like this: there are 3 machines: 1. ADFS - stores user data. 2. IIS (web server) - the server on which your web application runs. 3. Client - the user who uses the web application.

      A user logs into your web application and needs to log in, but he does not have an account on your web application. But he has an account in Active Directory. He can use it to not re-create an account in the web application.

      You can read about the SAML protocol, which serves this purpose.

      This principle works authorization on many sites. For example, log in to stackoverflow using a google account.
