What is Directory Connector?

The Bitwarden Directory Connector application syncs users and groups to a Bitwarden Organization from a selection of directory services. Directory Connector will automatically provision and de-provision users, groups, and group associations from the source directory.

{% callout info %} Directory Connector functionality is available to Teams and Enterprise organizations. To use Directory Connector, you must be an Organization Admin or Owner (for more information, see [User Types and Access Control]({% link _articles/organizations/user-types-access-control.md %})). {% endcallout %}

A Directory Connector sync operation can be run on-demand or automatically on a configured interval. Directory Connector applications can be installed as an agent on the server that hosts your directory, an administrator's workstation, or any other desktop device that can access the source directory.

Directory Connector supports sync from the following sources:

  • [Active Directory]({% link _articles/directory-connector/ldap-directory.md%})
  • [Any LDAP-based directory]({% link _articles/directory-connector/ldap-directory.md %})
  • [Azure Active Directory]({% link _articles/directory-connector/azure-active-directory.md %})
  • [G Suite]({% link _articles/directory-connector/gsuite-directory.md %})
  • [Okta]({% link _articles/directory-connector/okta-directory.md %})
  • [OneLogin]({% link _articles/directory-connector/onelogin-directory.md %})

Directory Connector Applications

Directory Connector is available as a cross-platform [Desktop Application]({% link _articles/directory-connector/directory-sync-desktop.md %}) and as a [Command Line Interface (CLI)]({% link _articles/directory-connector/directory-sync-cli.md %}). The Desktop App and CLI [share a database and configurations]({% link _articles/directory-connector/directory-sync-shared.md %}), so you may choose to use both, however simultaneous use is not recommended.
