Homegrown directory servers replacing AD
Enterprises of finance, healthcare, and government sectors are moving faster to replace foreign systems with self-developed ones, and AD is one of them. NDS ensures smooth migration from AD to homegrown directory server without affecting business. Specifically, NDS synchronizes user identities and organizational structure via LDAP protocol or standard interface, performs permission control and provides authentication services for applications that need to retrieve the original AD user store, say 802.1x authentication and VPN.
