What is LDAP Authentication?
- LDAP authentication is the process of verifying user credentials stored in a directory service such as OpenLDAP, Microsoft Azure Active Directory, Sun Active Directory, JumpCloud, FreeIPA Directory, Synology, OpenDS etc. With Joomla LDAP authentication, users can log in to your Joomla sites using their Active Directory/LDAP Server credentials.
- When a user attempts to access a resource (a Joomla site in this case), a request is sent to the Joomla LDAP authentication server, which then validates the entered username and password against the user data in the Active directory. If there is a match, the server checks whether the user is authorized to access the requested Joomla site, if yes, the user is logged in.
Difference between LDAP & Active Directory
- LDAP is a protocol for accessing and maintaining distributed directory information services, while Active Directory is a specific implementation of a directory service that uses LDAP as its primary protocol for communication and user authentication.
