Where Form 5495 Directory 2017-2024

Whoa Alan, damn y'all, good to see you again today. We are going to talk about directory services. We've so far done a whole bunch of videos on identity. Arranging in from what is identity authentication, authorization, Federation, self-service, that's about it. And now we're gonna talk about directory services.
