In October at Next \u201918 London, Google announced<\/a> a secure LDAP capability that lets you manage access to traditional LDAP-based apps and IT infrastructure using either G Suite<\/a>or Cloud Identity<\/a>, Google’s managed identity and access management (IAM) platform. Today, we\u2019re excited to announce that secure LDAP is now generally available.<\/p>\n

Unifying SaaS and LDAP app management<\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

While software-as-a-service (SaaS) apps continue to grow in popularity, many organizations still rely on the legacy LDAP<\/a> protocol to authenticate traditional applications and IT infrastructure. With secure LDAP, you can now manage access to SaaS apps and traditional LDAP-based apps\/infrastructure, hosted on-premises or in the cloud, using a single identity and access management platform.<\/p>\n

Secure LDAP enables authentication, authorization, and user\/group lookups for LDAP-based apps and IT infrastructure. Secure LDAP uses the same user directory for both SaaS and LDAP-based applications, so people can use the same Cloud Identity credentials they use to log into services like G Suite and other SaaS apps as they do to log into traditional applications. Applications and IT infrastructure that use LDAP can be simply configured to leverage Cloud Identity\u2019s secure LDAP service instead of an existing legacy identity system\u2014end users don’t have to change how they access their apps.<\/p>\n

Another benefit is that you can now manage applications and users in one place. Unifying the management of SaaS and LDAP apps with Cloud Identity helps decrease complexity and cost for your IT teams, reduce the dependency on legacy identity infrastructure such as Microsoft Active Directory, and improve security with a single place to set up identity and access policies.<\/p>\n

Select customers have already been using secure LDAP in their environments. For example, Doctor On Demand<\/a> is using secure LDAP to allow their admins to access Jamf Pro, and Utility Warehouse<\/a> is using secure LDAP to enable access to PaperCut for simplified print management. We\u2019re also working with the following companies to ensure that their apps are compatible with secure LDAP: Aruba Networks (HPE)<\/a>, Atlassian<\/a>, itopia<\/a>, JAMF<\/a>, Jenkins (Cloudbees)<\/a>, OpenVPN<\/a>, Papercut<\/a>, pfSense (Netgate)<\/a>, Puppet<\/a>, Softerra<\/a>, Sophos<\/a>, Splunk<\/a>, and Synology<\/a>. Virtually any app that supports LDAP over SSL can work with secure LDAP, and we are actively working with additional companies to validate more apps.<\/p>\n
