LDAP User And Password Provisioning

This document is designed to guide you through the steps that will allow you to keep your Drupal and AD/LDAP server’s user information and password in sync. The module is compatible with Drupal 8, Drupal 9 as well as Drupal 10.

Benefits of Directory & Password Sync :

Syncing user's information and passwords from your Drupal site to your Active Directory / LDAP servers can be beneficial for a lot of reasons some of which include:

• Providing your users to reset their AD passwords from their Drupal site.
• Allowing your users more flexibility in regards to the options through which they can update their information and passwords to the LDAP / AD server.
• This will also allow you to perform manual and cron-related maintenance in order to keep all your under information the same throughout multiple platforms.
• If the LDAP server is inaccessible to all your users, they can still update their information and passwords through Drupal 

And much more...
