LDAP directory#
- LDAP#
(Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) Directory service Protocol describing both a data model and how to query and modify this data.
A LDAP directory is a kind of database with a hierarchical, tree-like structure, allowing to link information to names. Generally, accounts or groups of users or computers belonging to an organization.
The data schema is not fixed, so you need to know it before you can interact with a LDAP directory.
CLUB1 uses a LDAP directory to store its member accounts centrally. This allows to share the login credentials between the different member services.
Configuration details#
This section describes the specificities of the CLUB1 configuration.
