A domain is a set of users and groups that User Management
uses as a source directory for obtaining user information. User
Management supports three types of domains:
Enterprise domains: Consist of users and groups that reside
in a third-party storage system, such as an LDAP directory. User
Management does not write to the third-party storage system. Instead,
User Management synchronizes the user and group information with
the User Management database. Enterprise domains also use an external
authentication provider, which can be LDAP, Kerberos, SAML, or a
custom authentication provider.
Local domains: This type of domain is not connected to
a third-party storage system. Instead, users and groups are created
locally and reside in the User Management database. Passwords are
stored locally, and authentication is done using a local database.
Hybrid domains: This type of domain is not connected to
a third-party storage system. Instead, users and groups are created
locally and reside in the User Management database. Unlike local
domains, hybrid domains use an external authentication provider,
which can be LDAP, Kerberos, SAML, or a custom authentication provider.
