Log In Using LDAP
Purpose
This article provides information on how to log in using the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP).
Introduction
LDAP is a protocol that enables users to search for information about organizations, people, and so on. LDAP has two main purposes:
Store data in an LDAP directory and authenticate users who access the directory.
Provide the communication language that applications need to exchange information to directory services, which provide access to information about organizations, individuals, and other data on the Internet.
The most common use case for LDAP is to provide a central location for accessing and managing directory services.
LDAP enables you to store, manage, and secure information about your organization, its users, and assets, such as usernames and passwords.
This simplifies the access to systems by providing a hierarchical structure of information, and can be critical for corporations as they grow and acquire more user data and assets.
LDAP also functions as an Identity and Access Management (IAM) solution focused on user authentication, including support for Kerberos and Single sign-On (SSO), Simple Authentication Security Layer (SASL), and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).
