Which authentication type is associated with LDAP within CyberArk?

In CyberArk, LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is typically utilized as a secondary authentication method. This is because primary authentication generally involves the CyberArk native authentication systems, while LDAP serves as an additional layer of authentication, enhancing security and enabling users to authenticate using their existing directory service credentials.

Using LDAP as a secondary authentication mechanism allows organizations to integrate CyberArk with their existing Active Directory or other directory services. This integration supports centralized user management and helps streamline the authentication process for users who already have accounts in the LDAP directory.

While the primary authentication options are integral to CyberArk, secondary authentication like LDAP provides flexibility and extends the security capabilities of the platform by leveraging familiar user management systems. By doing so, this approach fosters a more seamless experience for users while maintaining robust security protocols.
