  Work with AD DCs running on VMs or managed AD services, such as Azure AD DS, AWS Directory Service, or GCP Managed Service for Microsoft Active Directory.

  Use Tokens to authenticate to AD instead of usernames and passwords.


Set up the Terraform Provider


  Login to the KopiCloud AD API Terraform Provider management website and generate a token.

  Configure the kopicloud provider with the hostname of your API server and the authentication token.
terraform {
     required_providers {
         kopicloud = {
             source = "kopicloud-ad-api/ad"
         }
     }
}

provider "kopicloud" {
     host   = "https://api.kopicloud.local"
     token = "Basic b3NjYWI8UzFsdkyQMVsuD70"
}


resource "kopicloud_dns_a_record" "test" {
     hostname = "computer70"
     ip_address = "10.20.1.241"
     zone_name = "kopicloud.local"
}

output "dns_a_record" {
     description = "Created DNS A Record"
     value = resource.kopicloud_dns_a_record.test
}

Example: Create a DNS A Record in Microsoft DNS


Create a DNS A Record, take five lines of Terraform code, and take less than 1 second to execute.

Why KopiCloud AD API?


A few reasons to choose KopiCloud AD API to automate your Active Directory deployments:

  No official Microsoft API

There is no official Microsoft API, so if you want to automate access to the Active Directory or DNS, you must write your own API or execute PowerShell commands.

  It is secure

Instead of using usernames and passwords to access Active Directory or DNS, we use authentication tokens. These tokens can be used for a limited time or forever.

  We keep a log of everything

Every task or action executed is written in a log, so you know who and when they call any API method. Coming soon, you will be able to forward events to several SIEMs.


  Automate AD with our Terraform Provider

Create service accounts in AD, create DNS records, create AD Users, create AD Groups, create AD Organization Unit, reset AD User passwords, and more.

  Designed for all kinds of companies

We have plenty of pre-configured security access groups. The API provides many options if you are a small company or a large enterprise with a dedicated security team.

  Production or Test Environment?

Both. If you are in production, every call is secured using a token, and everything is logged. Or you can disable the token authentication if running in a test environment.
