Specifying Access Account for AD LDS Instance Connections

You can use the Password Manager Service account, an Active Directory account or an AD LDS account. These accounts must have the following minimum set of permissions:

  • Membership in the Domain Users group (for the Password Manager Service account and the Active Directory account only)

  • Membership in the Readers group in the application directory partition (for the AD LDS account only)

  • Membership in the Administrators group in the configuration directory partition

  • The Read permission for all attributes of user objects

  • The Write permission for the following attributes of user objects: pwdLastSet, comment, unicodePwd, lockoutTime, msDS-UserAccountDisabled

  • The right to reset user passwords

  • The permission to create user accounts and containers in the Users container

  • The Read permission for attributes of the organizationalUnit object and container objects

  • The Write permission for the gpLink attribute of the organizationalUnit objects and container objects

  • The permission to create the serviceConnectionPoint objects in the System container

  • The permission to delete the serviceConnectionPoint objects in the System container

  • The Write permission for the keywords attribute of the serviceConnectionPoint objects in the System container

  • The Write permission to create and delete the groupPolicyContainer objects in the System Policies container.

  • The permission to create and delete container and the serviceConnectionPoint objects in Group Policy containers.
