Binding to an LDAP Server
LDAP allows your Synology NAS to join an existing directory service as an LDAP client, and then retrieve user or
group information from an LDAP server (or "directory server"). The profiles option allows you to smoothly connect
to different types of LDAP servers, such as standard (Synology Directory Servers or Mac Open Directory), IBM
Lotus Domino servers, or customize your own profile settings. You can manage LDAP users' or groups' access
privileges to DSM applications and shared folders, just as you would with DSM local users or groups.
Host LDAP Service with Directory Server
Directory Server is an add-on package based on LDAP version 3 (RFC2251) that allows your Synology NAS to
become an account administration center to centralize the account management of all connecting clients, and
provides authentication service for them.
In addition, with Google Apps Single Sign-On support, Directory Server can become an identity provider for
your Google Apps domain. This allows users to log into Google Apps services (such as Gmail or Google
Calendar) using their accounts and passwords stored on Directory Server, eliminating the need for users to
remember another set of accounts and passwords.
To install Directory Server on your Synology NAS, go to Main Menu > Package Center. For more information
about Directory Server, please refer to DSM Help. To learn more about how to access Directory Server with a
LDAP client, refer to the Directory Server User's Guide available at Synology's Download Center.
