Microsoft Active Directory Authentication using LDAP for MySQL Enterprise
Blog post from Tessell
MySQL Enterprise Edition supports LDAP authentication, allowing the server to authenticate users by accessing directory services like those provided by Microsoft Active Directory (AD). This integration enables the use of consistent user credentials across platforms, enhancing security with AD's password policies. The process involves configuring the MySQL server to communicate with an AD domain controller, installing necessary LDAP client libraries, and employing the LDAP Simple method for compatibility with Microsoft AD. The LDAP server-side plugin, authentication_ldap_simple, is used to facilitate this authentication method, ensuring secure and efficient user management. By creating MySQL users with the same credentials as those in AD, organizations can streamline user authentication and leverage advanced security features within their MySQL infrastructure.
