Directory Services

Directory services are integral components of network operating systems that map the names of network resources to their network addresses. They provide a shared information infrastructure to locate, manage, and organize network resources, including volumes, folders, files, users, groups, devices, and more. Active Directory is Secret Server's native directory service.

LDAP

Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is a widely-used protocol for accessing and managing distributed directory information services over IP networks. LDAP enables organizations to store and manage user identities, groups, and other data in a centralized repository, allowing for efficient authentication, authorization, and directory management. Secure LDAP (LDAPS) extends the protocol to provide encryption and authentication using TLS or SSL.
