LDAP Connector Overview
You can use LDAP Connector to connect to V3 compliant LDAP directory servers from Informatica Cloud. You can read and integrate data from LDAP directory server or other applications, transform the data, and write data to LDAP directory server or other applications.
Use LDAP Connector to connect to LDAP directory server such as Microsoft Active Directory, browse metadata, and import source and target objects into Informatica Cloud. You can use LDAP data objects in Data Synchronization tasks and mappings.
The LDAP data objects represent metadata for LDAP entries. The Secure Agent uses the JNDI APIs to connect to the LDAP directory server and read and write data based on the operation you specify.
