1 Introduction
Organizations of all sizes can benefit from consolidating user management and authentication into services
such as Microsoft

Active Directory

(AD). The Active Directory service allows organizations to efficiently
organize, manage, and control resources. Active Directory is a distributed, scalable database managed by
Windows Server
®
domain controllers.
Dell EMC SC Series Active Directory integration provides a scalable solution for authentication that enables
administrators to manage a potentially large number of accounts across many SC Series arrays from a
central location. In addition, SC Series Active Directory integration simplifies account management for
administrators by enabling them to leverage their existing native Active Directory infrastructure.
