Cloud-hosted LDAP authentication—without on-prem infrastructure

A traditional LDAP setup requires infrastructure, including a dedicated server, office space, regular patches, and maintenance. As your organization grows, new servers must be provisioned to support additional users and resources.

Switching this authentication to the cloud frees you off all these burdens.

Moving to Cloud LDAP

With Zoho Directory Cloud LDAP, IT admins can:

  • Authenticate legacy apps and other cloud endpoints on the cloud
  • Centralize user management across IT resources like apps, work devices, and more
  • Ensure consistent access for every user, even in flexible hybrid environments

Along with these benefits, virtual servers scale with the company's growth without requiring any new hardware, saving costs for the company.

Benefits of enabling Cloud LDAP

Enabling Cloud LDAP in your organization    

Remote access for distributed teams

Adaptable access for growing companies

As your business starts growing in the number of employees, applications required, or post-mergers and acquisition scaling, the need to adopt a system that matches your current demand is a must. With ZD's Cloud LDAP, easily onboard external users like partners, contractors, or vendors without any delays.

Fits right in your cloud-first stack

Organizations running IAM in the cloud can continue authenticating LDAP-connected endpoints without deploying new hardware.
