JD Cloud directory service is the actual Microsoft Active Directory running on the JD Cloud hosted service infrastructure. By this way, you can use tools (such as Active Directory management center and Active Directory users and computers) you are familiar with to manage users and equipment.
Because the directory is a mission-critical infrastructure, the JD Cloud hosted directory service is deployed across multiple availability zones and is highly available. You can also expand JD Cloud hosted directory service through deploying extra domain controllers to improve the elasticity of cloud managed service so as to implement higher availability.
JD Cloud Hosted Directory Service runs on the JD Cloud hosted Infrastructure and it has the monitoring function so as to automatically detect and replace failed domain controllers.
You can use Active Directory trust relationship to easily integrate JD Cloud hosted directory service with existing Active Directory. By using trust relationship, you can control which Active Directory users can access your JD Cloud resources through existing Active Directory.
JD Cloud hosted directory service provides SSO based on Kerberos identity authentication which is same as Active Directory. By integrating your JD Cloud resources with directory service, your users can use a group of credentials to login applications and resources of JD Cloud through SSO.
By JD Cloud hosted directory service, users and groups can easily and jointly access JD management console. Using joint access function can eliminate the necessity of using single user password and you can manage access according to single identity from Active Directory so as to help JD Cloud to improve its environmental security.
