## Notes on configuring with Microsoft Active Directory (AD)
The LDAP STS API also works with Microsoft AD and can be configured
as above. The following are some notes on determining the values of
the configuration parameters described above.
Once LDAP over TLS is enabled on AD, test access to LDAP works by running a
sample search query with the `ldapsearch` utility from
[OpenLDAP](https://openldap.org/):
```shell
$ ldapsearch -H ldaps://my.ldap-active-dir-server.com -D "username@minioad.local" -x -w 'secretpassword' -b "dc=minioad,dc=local"
...
# John, Users, minioad.local
dn: CN=John,CN=Users,DC=minioad,DC=local
...
# hpc, Users, minioad.local
dn: CN=hpc,CN=Users,DC=minioad,DC=local
objectClass: top
objectClass: group
cn: hpc
...
member: CN=John,CN=Users,DC=minioad,DC=local
...
```
The lines with "..." represent skipped content not shown here from brevity.
Based on the output above, we see that the username format variable looks like
`cn=${username},cn=users,dc=minioad,dc=local`.
The group search filter looks like
`(&(objectclass=group)(member=${usernamedn}))` and the group name attribute is
clearly `cn`.
Thus the key configuration parameters look like:
```
MINIO_IDENTITY_LDAP_SERVER_ADDR='ldaps://my.ldap-active-dir-server.com:636'
MINIO_IDENTITY_LDAP_USERNAME_FORMAT='cn=${username},cn=users,dc=minioad,dc=local'
MINIO_IDENTITY_LDAP_GROUP_SEARCH_BASE_DN='dc=minioad,dc=local'
MINIO_IDENTITY_LDAP_GROUP_SEARCH_FILTER='(&(objectclass=group)(member=${usernamedn}))'
MINIO_IDENTITY_LDAP_GROUP_NAME_ATTRIBUTE='cn'
```
