LDAP Authentication

LDAP authentication, or Lightweight Directory Access Protocol authentication, is a method used to verify users’ identities in networked systems. It works like a digital phone book where user information is stored, including usernames and passwords. When someone tries to log in, their credentials are checked against this directory. If the details match, access is granted. This protocol is widely used in organizations to manage user data securely, allowing employees to access various systems and services with a single set of login information, enhancing both security and convenience.
