Schema Specification

Human-Readable JSON Templates

AnchorForge stores all role definitions in transparent, version-controlled JSON files. This eliminates proprietary databases and prevents configuration drift across your domain.

Deterministic Attribute Mapping

Map employee HR data directly to Active Directory attributes. Define standard patterns for userPrincipalName, sAMAccountName, and mail generation automatically.

Zero-Agent Architecture

AnchorForge executes standard, auditable LDAP queries directly from your admin workstation. No background services run on your domain controllers.
