Directory Service

Directory Service is a web service that makes it easy for you to setup and run directories in the Amazon Web Services cloud, or connect your Amazon Web Services resources with an existing self-managed Microsoft Active Directory.

This guide provides detailed information about Directory Service operations, data types, parameters, and errors. For information about Directory Services features, see Directory Service: https://aws.amazon.com/directoryservice/ and the Directory Service Administration Guide: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/directoryservice/latest/admin-guide/what_is.html.

Amazon Web Services provides SDKs that consist of libraries and sample code for various programming languages and platforms (Java, Ruby, .Net, iOS, Android, etc.). The SDKs provide a convenient way to create programmatic access to Directory Service and other Amazon Web Services services. For more information about the Amazon Web Services SDKs, including how to download and install them, see Tools for Amazon Web Services: http://aws.amazon.com/tools/.

  • For Managed Microsoft AD, you can only reset the password for a user that is in an OU based off of the NetBIOS name that you typed when you created your directory. For example, you cannot reset the password for a user in the Amazon Web Services Reserved OU.

share_directory(Client, Input)

View Source

Shares a specified directory (DirectoryId) in your Amazon Web Services account (directory owner) with another Amazon Web Services account (directory consumer).

With this operation you can use your directory from any Amazon Web Services account and from any Amazon VPC within an Amazon Web Services Region.

When you share your Managed Microsoft AD directory, Directory Service creates a shared directory in the directory consumer account. This shared directory contains the metadata to provide access to the directory within the directory owner account. The shared directory is visible in all VPCs in the directory consumer account.

The ShareMethod parameter determines whether the specified directory can be shared between Amazon Web Services accounts inside the same Amazon Web Services organization (ORGANIZATIONS). It also determines whether you can share the directory with any other Amazon Web Services account either inside or outside of the organization (HANDSHAKE).

The ShareNotes parameter is only used when HANDSHAKE is called, which sends a directory sharing request to the directory consumer.
