Timeline (last 90 days)
Compared with traditional directory protocols such as LDAP, SCIM is based on REST/JSON and is better suited to the modern SaaS ecosystem.
Single Source of Truth is a core principle in IAM, meaning that all user identity data is based on one authoritative system, with common implementation vehicles including Active Directory, LDAP, Okta, and Azure AD.
SASL (Simple Authentication and Security Layer) is an authentication framework decoupled from specific authentication algorithms, and is widely used in protocols such as SMTP, LDAP, and XMPP.
In the directory service protocol wars, LDAP won the market with a more lightweight implementation, and X.500 and LDAP coexisted for a long period.
LDAP, SAML, and OIDC authentication features are paid enterprise-edition-exclusive features in Mattermost.
Antimatter rebuilt from scratch features that previously only existed in the enterprise edition, including LDAP, SAML, and OIDC authentication, as well as multilingual translation.
Dockhand has built-in SSO single sign-on, LDAP directory integration, and role-based access control (RBAC), all available for free.
Traditional IAM architecture has gone through three stages: the directory services era (1990s–2000s), the federated identity era (2000s–2010s), and the cloud-native identity era (2010 to present).
Active Directory is a proprietary directory service implementation developed by Microsoft based on the LDAP protocol.
