What it is
Ithicos Directory Manager is a web-based delegated administration tool for authorized staff managing Active Directory accounts. Delegates can edit contact fields, titles, departments, and custom properties, then reset passwords, unlock accounts, change account status, and set expiration dates. The Advanced edition adds template-based user creation, delegated group management, and workflows for soft or hard deletion, including disabling accounts and removing group access. Administrators can enforce required inputs, regular-expression rules, dropdowns, address sets, and cascading subsets. Searches and filtered listings export to CSV or Excel. User photos can be uploaded to local Active Directory and Microsoft 365 profiles. Custom PowerShell scripts can run after profile or account changes, while timestamps and CSV audit records support auditing. Version 3.5 added Secure LDAP for encrypted connections. The application runs on-premises on 64-bit Windows Server with IIS and .NET Framework 4.8. Evaluation builds are fully functional for 30 days.
