-Besides the on-premises Active Directory, Azure offers a managed Active Directory SaaS service with [Azure Active Directory Domain Services](../../../active-directory-domain-services/overview.md) and [Azure Active Directory](../../../active-directory/fundamentals/active-directory-whatis.md). SAP components hosted on Windows OS that are supposed to use Active directory, are solely relying on the traditional Active Directory as it's hosted on-premises by you, or Azure Active Directory Domain Services. But these SAP components can't function with the native Azure Active Directory. Reason is that there are still larger gaps in functionality between Active Directory in its on-premises form or its SaaS form (Azure Active Directory Domain Services) and the native Azure Active Directory. This is the reason why Azure Active Directory accounts aren't supported for running SAP components, like ABAP stack, JAVA stack on Windows OS. Traditional Active Directory accounts need to be used in such scenarios.
