LDAP, standing for Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, simply put, is an internet protocol that is used to look up information from a server in an organized fashion. Kerberos is an authentication technology that uses symmetric key cryptography and trusted
third party authorization to verify a user’s identity. It is trusted as the industry standard nowadays.</div>

Both individually and together, LDAP and Kerberos are designed to solve the problem of distributed authentication and authorization. The system detailed in the article essentially uses LDAP to centralize kerberos authentication to severely decrease the amount
of accounts that need to be managed.</div>
