Introduction
This document is intended to aid in configuring Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS, commonly referred to as "Active Directory") to meet the requirements of the InCommon Federation's Identity Assurance Profile (IAP) for Silver level of assurance. Only sections of the IAP where there is a challenge unique to AD DS are specifically addressed. For example, sections 4.2.3.2 and 4.2.3.3 of the IAP are not covered in this document because issues of brute-force guessing and password entropy pose no unique challenge to AD DS; like most authentication services AD DS has controls to enable password rotation, and mitigating features like account lockout, and configuring these controls to meet those IAP sections is an exercise that requires no knowledge unique to AD DS.
