VAST Data activedirectory API is one of 126 APIs that [VAST Data](https://apis.io/providers/vastdata/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include Active Directory. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, API documentation, and SDKs.

Active Directory is supported as an external authorization and authentication provider. Active Directory may store and provide user and group attributes used by both NFS and SMB protocols. Active Directory can be used to enable Kerberos authentication with NFSv4 and with SMB. It is a requirement for enabling SMB access on VAST Cluster. Up to one Active Directory domain is supported. The configuration must specify an LDAP configuration for binding to the LDAP domain of the Active Directory server. Limitations apply to the combinations of external providers and protocol enablement.
