LDAP

LDAP is an application protocol for accessing and maintaining distributed directory information services over an IP network. LDAP databases are widely used to store information such as user accounts and groups.

Highlights

• The transport supports LDAP, SSL (LDAPS) and SASL 
• The inbound endpoint allows incoming LDAP messages sent by the server (replies to asynchronous requests) such as search responses, add responses etc. It can also reply to persistent searches (if any)
• The outbound endpoint allows for executing LDAP queries and writing information
• The transport offers a group of transformers to deal with LDAP specific objects

Common Use Cases

• Integrate a user table in a SaaS application with a local LDAP directory
• Synchronize data between multiple LDAP databases
• Develop a master data and identity strategy and workflow using LDAP for authentication and consolidation
