Start with the directory you have
An existing directory can hold valuable identity information before a platform transition begins. Define which population should act as a source and how its records relate to central identities.
LDAP SERVER FEEDS
Use LDAP servers as identity data sources. Bring established directory information into a connected model of people, accounts and access.
THE VALUE IN PRACTICE
01 / The opportunity02 / The approach03 / The outcomeAn existing directory can hold valuable identity information before a platform transition begins. Define which population should act as a source and how its records relate to central identities.
Directory identifiers and person identifiers may mean different things. Agree search scope, mapping and matching behavior explicitly, especially when connecting existing accounts rather than creating a new population.
Plan directory transport, bind permissions and attribute ownership together. Decide what changed or missing records mean for the lifecycle rather than assuming a disappearance should always trigger deletion.
ILLUSTRATIVE USE CASE
A planning example, not a customer testimonial.
An established LDAP directory remains in place during modernization. A scoped feed brings the agreed population and attributes into the identity model.
