LDAP

What Is LDAP?

LDAP stands for Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. It is a protocol used to query and manage directory-based identity information, often in enterprise environments.

Why LDAP Matters

LDAP matters because organizations use it to:

  • centralize identity and directory information,
  • support enterprise authentication flows,
  • manage user and group data across systems,
  • integrate internal tools with existing identity infrastructure.

How Oobeya Uses LDAP

In Oobeya, LDAP belongs to the authentication and access layer. It is relevant for organizations that need directory-based sign-in and enterprise identity alignment. That matters when a new engineering platform must fit into an existing enterprise directory model instead of introducing a separate user-management system.
