Secure and Simplify Microsoft Active Directory RBAC and Audit with Teleport

Experience unparalleled security and ease in managing Microsoft Active Directory with Teleport.
Protect your data like never before!

Teleport can help you manage access to Windows resources in an Active Directory environment in several ways:

  • Passwordless Access: Teleport provides secure, passwordless access to Windows hosts using cryptographic authentication and short-lived certificates. This eliminates the need for traditional password-based logins.1
  • Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): You can configure role-based access controls for groups of hosts and users, allowing fine-grained control over who can access which resources.3. Clipboard and Directory Sharing: Teleport allows configurable clipboard and directory sharing for copying and pasting to and from remote Windows hosts.4. Session Recording: All desktop activity can be recorded for auditing and security purposes.5. Audit Logs: Teleport tracks user activity through comprehensive audit logs.6. Active Directory Integration: Teleport can be configured to work with Active Directory domains, allowing you to leverage your existing AD infrastructure for authentication and access control.2
  • Multiple Domain Support: If you have multiple Active Directory domains, Teleport can be configured to work with them, either independently or in a trust relationship.3
  • Network Level Authentication (NLA): With Teleport 16.2.0 and later, you can configure the Windows Desktop Service to perform Network Level Authentication when connecting to Windows hosts, enhancing security.4

To set up Teleport with Active Directory, you have two main options:

  • Automated Configuration: For simpler AD environments, you can use a generated configuration script to bootstrap your Active Directory domain for use with Teleport.5
  • Manual Configuration: For more complex environments, you can manually configure the integration, which gives you more control over the setup process.6

Both methods involve creating a service account, configuring group policies, and setting up certificate authorities to enable secure, certificate-based authentication.

By integrating Teleport with your Active Directory, you can enhance the security of your Windows resources while maintaining the flexibility and control provided by your existing AD infrastructure.
