This article describes how to create identity pool of on-premises Active Directory joined machine identity.

  1. On the Machine Identities page:

    1. Select identity type as On-premises Active Directory.
    2. Select an Active Directory account option:

      • Create new Active Directory accounts:
        • If you select Create new Active Directory accounts and do use an existing identity pool to create new accounts, then select a domain for those accounts and specify an account naming scheme.
        • If you select Create new Active Directory accounts and use an existing identity pool to create new accounts, then select an identity pool from the list.
      • Use existing Active Directory accounts: You can browse or import from CSV file, and reset password or specify the same password for all accounts.

  2. On the Domain credentials page, enter credentials manually.

Use PowerShell

You can create an identity pool or update an existing identity pool.

For example: To create a new identity pool, run the following:

New-AcctIdentityPool -IdentityType ActiveDirectory -IdentityPoolName MyPool -NamingScheme Acc#### -Domain MyDomain.com -NamingSchemeType Numeric -OU "CN=MyOU,DC=MyDomain,DC=com"
<!--NeedCopy-->

For example: To update an existing identity pool, run the following:

$identityPoolUid = (Get-ProvScheme -ProvisioningSchemeName "MyProvScheme").IdentityPoolUid
Set-AcctIdentityPool -IdentityPoolUid $identityPoolUid
<!--NeedCopy-->
