Episode 40 — Directory Services in the Cloud — LDAP and Integration Concepts
In this episode, we explain how directory services function in cloud environments and the role they play in identity management. We cover the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) as a standard for querying and modifying directory data, and how it integrates with cloud-based identity providers. Use cases such as single sign-on, centralized authentication, and cross-platform identity synchronization are examined in detail.
We also address integration challenges, including schema compatibility, replication delays, and securing directory queries. By understanding these concepts, you’ll be equipped to design, configure, and troubleshoot directory services in both exam scenarios and production environments. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com, where more prepcasts, books, and directory integration resources are available.
