# Configure Microsoft Entra Private Access for Active Directory Domain Controllers (preview)
 
This guide describes how to configure Microsoft Entra Private Access for Active Directory Domain Controllers (DCs). This capability helps strengthen secure access for on-premises users by enforcing conditional access/MFA to on-premises applications that use Kerberos authentication with the DCs.
 
1. You can configure the port in either a Quick Access or Enterprise Application.
1. Add the SPNs for the resources you want to secure. The system automatically delivers these SPNs to the Private Access Sensors installed on your domain controllers.
