Virtual LDAP Service

OneLogin's Virtual LDAP Service (VLDAP) enables you to use OneLogin as a cloud-based LDAP directory to authenticate (bind) users, and search user attributes and OneLogin roles for authorizations. VLDAP enables integrations with legacy systems that require an LDAP endpoint for authentication and authorization.

Integrate appliances and legacy apps

For many companies, LDAP directories are crucial to their IT and identity management systems. However, like many IT teams, you're probably being asked to focus on new projects to help transform the business, such as quickly launching new apps. You need a way to prioritize these new initiatives without ignoring important systems like LDAP. If left unmaintained, LDAP issues could disrupt your entire IT infrastructure. Additionally, some cloud directories, like Google Apps, don’t support LDAP, making it difficult to connect them with other parts of your enterprise.

LDAP-as-a-service

OneLogin VLDAP eliminates the need for you to manage LDAP servers. It adds an LDAP interface to OneLogin’s cloud directory, offering a reliable and scalable LDAP service. There’s nothing to install or maintain, so you can focus on more important projects. Plus, it’s integrated with OneLogin OTP as part of the OneLogin Trusted Experience Platform™, providing secure multifactor authentication for LDAP and strengthening your identity and access management.

VLDAP The Bridge Old vs New

Although OneLogin Virtual LDAP operates in the cloud, it recognizes that modern businesses use a combination of cloud services and on-site infrastructure behind a firewall—a setup we call the Hybrid Enterprise.

To accommodate this, OneLogin VLDAP works with your VPN, network-attached storage (NAS), older web servers, and office WiFi, allowing them to use identities from cloud directories like Azure AD, Workday, and Google Apps. It can also integrate identities from on-site Active Directory and existing LDAP servers. This way, you can keep using LDAP as the core of your IT and the main source for authentication.
