LDAP Credentials

Description

General

Documentation: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2251
Summary: LDAP stands for Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. It is a protocol used when accessing directory information services. It is useful when fast retrieval of data is needed, and to query databases where users perform a lot of queries and only few updates to the database, typically login information.
IPs allowlist: This can be implemented on the server side.
Scopes: Credentials correspond to the concerned user's range of permission.

Revoke the secret

Database administrators can revoke an entry in the directory.

Check for suspicious activity

Logs can be kept on the server.
