Secure LDAP Authentication

DESCRIPTION
The LDAP authentication service authenticates users to a NET Domain joined server or
application using their NID username and password.

Secure LDAP queries provide a hub for applications to obtain directory information
from, which can then be used for authorizing users of an application, populating forms,
or a variety of other actions in the central username directory (i.e., Net Domain). The
domain currently provides the following information: name, department, enterprise
email, employee work telephone number, security, and distribution groups, etc. Secure
LDAP queries are only allowed on standard secured port 636 and all data is updated
daily based on feeds pulled from multiple sources. Anonymous bind is not permitted.
