Users from Azure Active Directory (aadds)
Synchronize and authenticate your users against the Microsoft Azure Active Directory Service
About Azure Active Directory Domain Services (aadds)
This is a “classic” domain server as a cloud service hosted in Azure. It is “coupled” with the Azure AD and automatically synchronizes users.
This service can be used to create classic domain server implementations in Azure and can be coupled with an on-premise domain in various ways.
It is also the component required to extend an Azure AD with public LDAPS access, which is useful for connecting legacy applications to the Azure cloud.

Aadds Setup
The current AD connector does not work against an Azure AD, instead an Azure Active Directory Domain Services installation with activated LDAPS access is required.
For setting up Aadds, the official documentation can be used, also for LDAPS configuration.
“Users from AD” Connector Profile
Create a new connector profile by using the following steps in the pascom phone system Web UI: Click on the menu option > and then click .
Select the AD User Sync template and enter the following data:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Connector Profile Name |

Test and Activate the Import Process
After you have finalised your configuration, you can test the connector profile to determine which data sets will be imported using the button. Once you are satisfied with the results, it is possible to either perform a one off import using the > option or automate the import to be performed at regular intervals by clicking the button.
Please delete the domain name after the username. The System will do that behavior automatically after saving the connector profile.
