LDAP Virtual Directory

EmpowerID’s LDAP Virtual Directory allows external systems to access identity data stored in EmpowerID using standard LDAP protocols. It provides a flexible, read-only interface that presents virtualized directory views without exposing the underlying data sources. This enables integration with legacy applications, appliances, and services that rely on LDAP, while maintaining centralized control, security policies, and real-time data consistency.
