What is ADAM?

With the Active Directory for Workplace Management, ADAM for short, the IT Center offers the institutions and employees of RWTH Aachen University the possibility of using a central, multi-client directory service based on Microsoft Active Directory free of charge.

With ADAM, the IT Center supports Windows domains as well as the integration of Linux and Mac end devices.

The ADAM service does not cover every wish or every requirement profile, since changes always apply to all participants.

If you have further interest or need additional information regarding ADAM and its functions, we are happy to offer you the opportunity for a personal dialogue. For this purpose, please contact the IT-ServiceDesk (opens in new tab).
 

Who can use ADAM?

ADAM is set up for RWTH Aachen University and can only be used by its employees. New institute employees are automatically registered in the ADAM by the Identity Management System via the coupon procedure. For guests (persons who are not registered in Identity Management), ADAM offers the possibility to create a guest account.
