Overview

LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is a directory service protocol used to access and manage distributed user and resource information, commonly for authentication and authorization via directories like Active Directory or OpenLDAP. Because many enterprises rely on LDAP-based login and privilege management, vulnerabilities in LDAP handling or in devices that implement LDAP authentication can lead to remote access compromises and data exposure. The recent Fortinet firewalls article illustrates how flaws in authentication mechanisms on network appliances can have broad impact on LDAP-enabled environments.
