# Access Manager Directory configuration page

Access Manager has its own internal directory, used for registering and storing passwords of devices that are not joined to an Active Directory domain. Devices need to authenticate to the Access Manger directory, and can do so using either a registration key, or Azure Active Directory credentials.

### Key-based device registration

Enabling support for key-based device registration allows support for devices that are not joined to an Active Directory or Azure Active Directory.

You must enable key-based device registration in order to support devices running macOS, Linux, and non-domain joined Windows devices.

## Azure Active Directory device registration

Enabling Azure Active Directory support allows Windows 10 and higher devices that are either Azure AD joined or registered to authenticate to the Access Manager directory. These devices will use their AAD credentials to register with AMS.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.lithnet.io/ams/v2.0/help-and-support/app-pages/access-manager-directory.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
