    Abstract: A centralized policy management may allow for one set of credentials to various applications and services offered by a computing resource service provider or other third-party servers. An entity responsible for the administration of a directory made available through a managed directory service may specify one or more policies for users and/or groups of users that utilize the directory. For example, the managed directory service may include a policy management subsystem that manages a set of policies for users and/or groups of users that controls a level of access to applications and services. Administrators can assign one or more policies to a user or a group of users and users can select one or more policies provided to the user by the administrator when attempting to access an application or service.

    Abstract: A customer of a computing resource service provider may utilize a set of credentials to request creation of an identity pool within a managed directory service. Accordingly, the managed directory service may create the identity pool. Instead of having the customer create a separate account within this identity pool, the managed directory service may create a shadow administrator account within the identity pool, which may be used to manage other users and resources in the identity pool within the managed directory service. The managed directory service further exposes an application programming interface command that may be used to obtain a set of credentials for accessing the shadow administrator account. The customer may use this command to receive the set of credentials and access the shadow administrator account. Accordingly, the customer can manage users and resources in the identity pool within the managed directory service.

    Abstract: A customer utilizes an interface provided by a virtual computer system service to provision a virtual machine instance and join this instance to a directory. The interface may have previously obtained the domain name and the Internet Protocol addresses for one or more directories available to the customer for joining the virtual machine instance. The virtual computer system service may communicate with a managed directory service to obtain a set of temporary credentials that may be used to transmit a request to the directory to allow joining of the virtual machine instance. Upon provisioning of the instance, an agent operating within the instance may be configured to obtain the domain name and Internet Protocol addresses for the directory to establish a connection with the directory. The agent may also be configured to obtain the set of temporary credentials to transmit a request to the directory for joining of the instance.

    Abstract: Features are disclosed for facilitating remote management of network directories of organizations by a directory management system. The network directories may change over time, experiencing growth in size and number of current connections, increased latency, reduced performance, and the like. The network directories may also shrink over time, experience fewer connections, etc. Organizations can define scaling policies by which the directory management system can automatically respond to the occurrence of various events, such as changes in the size or usage of the organizations' network directories, by scaling resources associated with the directories. The directory management system can perform various scaling actions on-demand or without requiring additional action by the organizations, thereby reducing the time and effort required by the organizations to monitor their own directories and implement (or request implementation of) changes.

    Abstract: A user may utilize a set of credentials to access, through a managed directory service, one or more services provided by a computing resource service provider. The managed directory service may be configured to identify one or more policies applicable to the user. These policies may define the level of access to the one or more services provided by the computing resource service provider. Based at least in part on these policies, the managed directory service may transmit a request to an identity management system to obtain a set of temporary credentials that may be used to enable the user to access the one or more services. Accordingly, the managed directory service may be configured to enable the user, based at least in part on the policies and the set of temporary credentials, to access an interface, which can be used to access the one or more services.

    Abstract translation: 用户可以利用一组凭证来通过托管目录服务访问由计算资源服务提供商提供的一个或多个服务。 托管目录服务可以被配置为识别适用于用户的一个或多个策略。 这些策略可以定义对由计算资源服务提供商提供的一个或多个服务的访问级别。 至少部分地基于这些策略,托管目录服务可以向身份管理系统发送请求以获得可以用于使得用户访问一个或多个服务的一组临时凭证。 因此,托管目录服务可以被配置为至少部分地基于策略和一组临时凭证来使用户能够访问可以用于访问一个或多个服务的接口。
