# Configure ADDS LDAP with extended groups for NFS volume access
2020

21-
When you [create an NFS volume](azure-netapp-files-create-volumes.md), you have the option to enable the LDAP with extended groups feature (the **LDAP** option) for the volume. This feature enables Active Directory LDAP users and extended groups (up to 1024 groups) to access the volume.

When you [create an NFS volume](azure-netapp-files-create-volumes.md), you have the option to enable the LDAP with extended groups feature (the **LDAP** option) for the volume. This feature enables Active Directory LDAP users and extended groups (up to 1024 groups) to access the volume. You can use the LDAP with extended groups feature with both NFSv4.1 and NFSv3 volumes.

This article explains the considerations and steps for enabling LDAP with extended groups when you create an NFS volume.

## Considerations
2626

27+
* LDAP with extended groups is supported only with Active Directory Domain Services (ADDS) or Azure Active Directory Domain services (AADDS). OpenLDAP or other third-party LDAP directory services are not supported.
28+
2729
* LDAP over TLS must *not* be enabled if you are using Azure Active Directory Domain Services (AADDS).

2931
* If you enable the LDAP with extended groups feature, LDAP-enabled [Kerberos volumes](configure-kerberos-encryption.md) will not correctly display the file ownership for LDAP users. A file or directory created by an LDAP user will default to `root` as the owner instead of the actual LDAP user. However, the `root` account can manually change the file ownership by using the command `chown <username> <filename>`.

2. LDAP volumes require an Active Directory configuration for LDAP server settings. Follow instructions in [Requirements for Active Directory connections](create-active-directory-connections.md#requirements-for-active-directory-connections) and [Create an Active Directory connection](create-active-directory-connections.md#create-an-active-directory-connection) to configure Active Directory connections on the Azure portal.

> Ensure that you have configured the Active Directory connection settings. A machine account will be created in the organizational unit (OU) that is specified in the Active Directory connection settings. The settings are used by the LDAP client to authenticate with your Active Directory.
