Hi @kalyannambi2010,

you can follow the the guide:

basically for AD, the best practice are:

  • use TLS
  • reading only the necessary OUs(if you don’t need to read the whole forest)
  • reading only the necessary account/group attribute

Hi @enistri_devo thank you for your reply and do we need to create separate AD sources for normal accounts, admin accounts and service accounts etc and how to manage all these accounts in different sources if we create? any thoughts on this?

Thanks
Kalyan

This is a you choice. You can create multiple sources or only one, both have advantages and disadvantages.

With multiple sources you can manage or search better every single type of account but you need top maintain more sources, vice versa with one source
