Navigating Identity Authentication: From LDAP to Modern Protocols

When constructing the identity authentication mechanism for network applications, engineers face various choices. One approach is to design a custom authentication mechanism, which may be suitable for certain newly developed applications. Another approach is to adopt widely recognized popular standards, which not only aids in compatibility with legacy applications but also ensures interoperability with other services, thereby simplifying the integration process. Therefore, a deep understanding of common identity authentication technologies is crucial for building robust and interoperable identity authentication services. …
