Configuring Windows Active Directory LDAP For Authentication With Postgres On Linux.

Active Directory is a directory services implementation that provides all sorts of functionality like authentication, group and user management, policy administration and more.

Active Directory (AD) supports both Kerberos and LDAP – Microsoft AD is by far the most common directory services system in use today. AD provides Single-Sign On (SSO) and works well in the office and over VPN.

Active Directory is just one example of a directory service that supports LDAP. There are other flavors, too: Red Hat Directory Service, OpenLDAP, Apache Directory Server, and more
