Issue
LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is a protocol used to access and manage directory information services over a network. It is needed primarily for managing and accessing centralized directory information in a networked environment.
Resolution
Instead of managing users separately on each system, LDAP allows all user data (usernames, passwords, roles) to be stored in one place. It is also designed to handle large numbers of users and devices. Applications and services can authenticate users against a single LDAP directory, reducing complexity and improving security.
