Knowing More about the Importance of LDAP Proxy

If you know how important LDAP firewall and proxy are, you may want to consider equipping your Active Directories with these excellent forms of security. If your Active Directory has virtual directory server which works as LDAP proxy and firewall while being able to provide other features and benefits, you will be able to achieve a lot of things and one of them is ensuring that none of the accounts and data in your Active Directory will become locked out or inaccessible. Your Active Directory will become more secure as it is being placed behind firewall proxy server.

With that, the applications cannot directly access the Active Directory. A virtual directory server which acts as LDAP proxy server will only publish data being required

or searched for by the application. Your Active Directory is made safe and protected because queries that are poor and inefficient are blocked or transformed in real time into queries that are more efficient. There are even some virtual directory servers you can use that provide additional function and feature such as complete auditing solution for every application that access your Active Directory. Hence any activity such as searches and modifications are confined.

It is definitely important for any organization to use LDAP firewall and proxy to ensure that it is fully secured and protected from security threats of all sizes, shapes and sizes. It is inevitable for certain attacks to occur such as denial of service but it is also possible to prevent them from taking place or from ever affecting the objects in your Active Directory. The key to this is by using a virtual directory that has the functions of an LDAP firewall and proxy which efficiently and effectively secures your AD and LDAP directories. You should not let your AD be without any security.
