What is the "Active Directory dashboard"?
Hello,
Sorry for this question, but I was not able to find it in the documentation and I was also unable to make it work...
I just found an 3 years old post in the forum, but that did not explain it.
I need to use credentials from my Secret Server Vault to access Active Directory with at least user admin permissions. But if I select the credentials from the vault, I only get invalid username or password. If I select Custom for the credentials and leave username and password empty, I get no error message, but also nothing useful.
So what is this dashboard for, what can be done with it and how do I get it to work with a user from the vault?
Thanks a lot for your help!

Agree with your question.. I'm also interested to know and I also can't get any decent information other than empty screens..
and if I dive in the properties, can enable show users, computers, groups, printers.. nice.. with some customizations..
if that works : can we even customize this further to show other objects we're interested in ? like group managed service accounts... ;-)
Hello Andreas,
This is an issue in the beta version 2023.2.7 that you are using, as it is still using our old LDAP stack. In the current beta you must use explicit credentials that have full permissions on the DC. The next beta release will be much better, and support better Authentication options including Single Sign On (which should allow you to connect with blank credentials) as well as an entirely new LDAP stack which should improve functionality for users with less privileges.

Hello Ben,
Our next beta version will support much more Active Directory functionality, and better Authentication support that gives better messages instead of blank screens. You can browse the entire AD tree structure and group things however you want. You can also view all properties of all objects, and manage group members, disable/enable users. I'll make a note to add enable/disable computers and printers in a follow up release.

Great! thanks for that. We'll be looking at that release

Hello Ben and Andreas,
The new release 2023.2 is available with the new Active Directory features, please let me know how the latest release works for you, if you see any issues and we will fix them, or if there are additional AD features you would like let me know and we will add them.
Thanks!
