Active Directory authentication

To provide credentials for Active Directory authentication, you use the Authorization request header with a value in the format shown below:

Authorization: AD ad-user-name:ad-password

In this format:

  • ad-username

    The AD user account username.

  • ad-password

    The AD user account password.

Here’s an example of an Authorization header for AD authentication:

Authorization: AD lgreen@example.com:p4sswOrd
NoteYou cannot use AD authentication with S3 compatible requests to create a bucket.
