Enterprise Active Directory Services Service Description The Enterprise Active Directory Service (EADS) is a core foundation service that enables state agencies to reduce their infrastructure and operating costs by utilizing a common, standardized and secure directory. Enterprise Active Directory Services, currently based on MS Active Directory, provides a centralized authoritative directory of information. This standardized directory automates management of network-based resources (such as user data, security, computers, printers, applications and file shares). Agencies can also take advantage of the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) offering, which provides an open standard for integration. This offering allows applications anywhere to securely authenticate any user who has an NCID account. This provides a simple methodology for applications to securely authenticate users without additional infrastructure costs or complexity.
