What is ForgeRock Directory Services? #
ForgeRock Directory Services provides LDAP-based directory service and includes the ForgeRock Directory Server and the ForgeRock Directory Proxy Server. The ForgeRock Directory Server stores identities for users, devices, and things in a highly available and secure way. The ForgeRock Directory Proxy Server increases the availability of a Directory Service deployment, providing a single point of access to a large-scale distributed data store.
Why Should You Use the ForgeRock Directory Services Connector? #
 The ForgeRock Directory Services connector provides visibility into the users managed by ForgeRock Directory Services. You can use this visibility to:
-
ensure user accounts are managed per your security policies
-
understand the relationships between users, departments, managers, and assets
How Does This Connector Work? #
Lucidum executes read-only requests to the ForgeRock Directory Services REST API and ingests only meta-data about users. Lucidum does not retrieve any data stored on your systems.
