OpenLDAP™ Competitor – Security Boulevard

Is there a worthy OpenLDAP™ competitor that can off-load the heavy lifting of managing and implementing OpenLDAP? With so many new digital tools being delivered “as-a-Service”, is there an LDAP solution that has followed suit? Because after all, it’d be great if all you had to do was simply manage user access to LDAP-based resources and let the provider deal with configuring, maintaining, securing, and managing the LDAP infrastructure.

The good news is something like this does exist. It’s called LDAP-as-a-Service. So why should you give your time to researching and testing this OpenLDAP competitor?  

Benefits of the OpenLDAP Competitor

Eliminates On-prem Hardware

First, LDAP-as-a-Service isn’t dependent on any on-prem hardware or software. It’s delivered completely from the cloud, enabling you to eliminate your on-prem LDAP instance. As a result, you can expect to have more time, money, and sanity on your hands because you no longer have to concern yourself with the following:

• Configuring, managing, and maintaining hardware
• Accounting for redundancy, resiliency, and security
• Planning for the cost of future upgrades

When it’s all said and done, an all-cloud LDAP solution enables you to invest more resources into projects that deliver greater business value.

Supports Much More than LDAP

Another key advantage of using LDAP-as-a-Service is it’s part of JumpCloud^®  Directory-as-a-Service^®, and JumpCloud doesn’t just support the LDAP protocol. This is important because you are likely using SAML, RADIUS, SSH, Samba, and many other protocols in addition to LDAP. Well, JumpCloud supports virtually all of these and much more, so you can manage systems, LDAP and SAML-based applications, networks, and file storage all from the same solution.

When you can manage all of your IT resources with a single directory service, you’ll achieve a well-controlled, secure, and efficient IT environment. So, you won’t have to spend as much time on aspects related to user management.

At the same time, the life of your end users is simplified with a single username and password that they can use to access all of their IT resources. They’ll have a seamless experience (Read more...)
