# ActiveDirectory Module

{% hint style="info" %}
This module is a legacy component that continues to function for importing users from an Active Directory source. It is designed for use in the Users - Import User tab. However, we strongly recommend opting for the newer and more flexible Active Directory Auto Module instead.
{% endhint %}

The Active Directory module enables the importation of users from an Active Directory through LDAP. To utilize this module, you need to provide the IP address, password, and username associated with the Active Directory. By clicking the "Test" button, you can verify the accuracy of your input by establishing a connection to the Active Directory.
