Host LDAP Service with Directory Server

Directory Server is an add-on package based on LDAP version 3 (RFC2251) that allows your Synology NAS to
become an account administration center to centralize the account management of all connecting clients, and
provides authentication service for them.
In addition, with Google Apps Single Sign-On support, Directory Server can become an identity provider for
your Google Apps domain. This allows users to log into Google Apps services (such as Gmail or Google
Calendar) using their accounts and passwords stored on Directory Server, eliminating the need for users to
remember another set of accounts and passwords.
To install Directory Server on your Synology NAS, go to Package Center. For more information about Directory
Server, please refer to DSM Help. To learn more about how to access Directory Server with a LDAP client,
please read this tutorial.
