Active Directory attributes

Neo retrieves attributes from Active Directory to report user information to Dynamic User Protection. The following table displays the Active Directory attributes used in Dynamic User Protection. This information displays on the Overview panel.

  • Friendly name: The name displayed in Dynamic User Protection.
  • Attribute name: The Active Directory attribute name.
  • Example: Example usage or notes.

If certain attributes cannot be retrieved from Active Directory, the fields remain blank. This occurs in the following cases:

  • Local users
  • Users not in Active Directory
  • Active Directory attributes not in use
  • Failure to connect to Active Directory

The attribute User principal name is used as the user's name for domain users and for Windows local users if the Full name attribute cannot be retrieved. If the user is a MacOS local user, the RealName attribute is used.
