<div class=""><font face="-webkit-standard" size="3" class="">I would normally make a jira issue for this, but seems I’m no longer allowed to do so (error 403 after clicking on create - tried firefox and safari). I have following improvement suggestion:</font></div>

<span style="font-family: -webkit-standard; font-size: medium;" class="">The current AD connector has currently some limitations (eg preventing a user to change his password directly on AD instead of using midpoint, exchange stuff,...) that can be bypassed
by using powershell over winrm. Experience learns that troubleshooting this is quite difficult. (famous
</span><span class="st"><em class="">WinRM cannot process the request</em>.</span><font face="-webkit-standard" size="3" class=""> that does not say anything). Since Windows Server 2019 it's also possible to use SSH for remote management (see <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/openssh/openssh_install_firstuse" class="">https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/openssh/openssh_install_firstuse</a>)
You can even choose the default shell you get (cmd.exe, powershell and even bash). It would be nice if the connector would support ssh (like powerhell and keep connection open from a performance perspective) for resource scripting.</font>
