title: Configure Active Directory (AD)
---
<head>
<link rel="canonical" href="https://ranchermanager.docs.rancher.com/how-to-guides/new-user-guides/authentication-permissions-and-global-configuration/authentication-config/configure-active-directory">

If your organization uses Microsoft Active Directory as central user repository, you can configure Rancher to communicate with an Active Directory server to authenticate users. This allows Rancher admins to control access to clusters and projects based on users and groups managed externally in the Active Directory, while allowing end-users to authenticate with their AD credentials when logging in to the Rancher UI.
Rancher uses LDAP to communicate with the Active Directory server. The authentication flow for Active Directory is therefore the same as for the [OpenLDAP authentication](../../../../pages-for-subheaders/configure-openldap.md) integration.
