Request Access to Use Lightweight Directory Protocol (LDAP)
Protect applications with a University of Minnesota username and password.
Overview
LDAP authentication can provide central authentication for some vendor-provided applications. Many packaged software products can be configured to reference an LDAP directory for authentication.
Highlights
- Is compatible with applications that support LDAP v.3
- Leverages users existing University of Minnesota credentials so that you don’t have to manage your users’ accounts and passwords
- Your application can get additional information back about users who logged in -- such as name, role, job information, etc. -- that may be useful for access control (may require additional data access approval)
- Can leverage access control information from Grouper.
