ADConnector for Windows

Product overview

ADConnector is a free Windows utility that links on-premises directory services (Active Directory or LDAP) with the Druva Cloud Platform. It creates a steady, secure connection so organizations can manage directory objects and access cloud resources without overhauling existing identity systems. The tool focuses on improving data protection and simplifying access to cloud-hosted services.

Core capabilities

• Synchronizes user and group accounts between on-prem directories and the cloud
• Manages authentication workflows and integrates existing sign-on systems
• Simplifies access provisioning for cloud applications and resources
• Establishes encrypted, reliable connections for directory replication
• Offers a compact, easy-to-configure interface suitable for rapid deployment

Primary advantages

• Rapid setup that requires minimal administrative overhead
• Improved security and centralized control of credentials and permissions
• Consistent access policies across local and cloud environments
• Reduced operational friction when extending on-prem identity services to the cloud
• Cost-free distribution for organizations that want a low-budget integration path

Who benefits most

This tool is particularly useful for IT teams and administrators who need to extend current Active Directory or LDAP infrastructures into Druva’s cloud services. It’s a good fit for organizations looking to preserve existing identities and policies while gaining cloud-based backup, recovery, or collaboration capabilities without significant new investments.

Alternatives to consider

If ADConnector doesn’t match your needs, consider other identity integration solutions such as Azure AD Connect for Microsoft-centric environments, Okta for cloud-first identity management, or JumpCloud for cross-platform directory services. These options offer varied feature sets around single sign-on, lifecycle management, and broader identity federation.
