Why teams connect Ldap and MarkLogic

Keep MarkLogic and Ldap in step: the rows in your database and the Groups (groupOfNames / posixGroup), Organizational units (ou), Attributes, Operational attributes your engineering tools track stay consistent in real time, in both directions.

MarkLogic is where your application's durable data lives; Ldap is where engineering and operations teams track the issues, events, messages, or identities that run alongside it. The two overlap constantly, a row should open a ticket, an alert should land as a record, a user in one should exist in the other, but bridging them today means per-tool integration code: auth, webhooks, pagination, rate limits, and retries, built and maintained separately for every tool.

Stacksync syncs Users & Roles, Documents, Collections, Semantic Triples in MarkLogic with Groups (groupOfNames / posixGroup), Organizational units (ou), Attributes, Operational attributes in Ldap field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields; Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set, so the database and the tooling around it never drift apart.

Common use cases

  • 01 Feed harmonized entities into search and analytics applications as documents change.
  • 02 Sync curated master data from a MarkLogic data hub into operational CRMs and ERPs.
  • 03 Connect a niche or legacy directory server that has no dedicated Stacksync connector but speaks LDAPv3, syncing it over a bind DN and TLS.
  • 04 Incrementally sync changed entries by polling modifyTimestamp, keeping a downstream store fresh without dumping the whole directory each cycle.

Common sync patterns

Land tool activity as queryable rows

Records and events from Ldap arrive in MarkLogic as rows, so tickets, alerts, messages, or identity changes become joinable data your services and reports read directly.

One integration pattern instead of per-tool API code

Read and write the synced tables in MarkLogic and Stacksync keeps Ldap current, replacing the auth, webhooks, rate limits, and retry logic you would otherwise maintain for each tool.

React to changes on either side in near real time

Updates in Ldap arrive as row changes in MarkLogic, and writes to MarkLogic propagate to Ldap within seconds, so triggers, jobs, and alerts fire without polling.

What you can sync between Ldap and MarkLogic

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Ldap objects MarkLogic objects How this pairing syncs
Groups (groupOfNames / posixGroup) Group entries whose member or uniqueMember attributes list DNs; synced two-way to add and remove membership as teams and entitlements change. Collections Named groupings used to scope which documents a sync reads or updates. Groups (groupOfNames / posixGroup) is specific to Ldap and Collections to MarkLogic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Organizational units (ou) Container entries that structure the DIT and scope which subtree a sync reads or writes; used to limit a sync to a branch such as ou=People,dc=corp,dc=com. Semantic Triples RDF data stored alongside documents, queryable with SPARQL for linked-data syncs. Organizational units (ou) is specific to Ldap and Semantic Triples to MarkLogic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Attributes The typed name/value pairs on each entry (cn, mail, memberOf, objectClass); the schema defines which attributes each objectClass allows, and mappings are built per attribute. TDE Views Relational projections of documents that let syncs read document data as SQL rows. Attributes is specific to Ldap and TDE Views to MarkLogic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Operational attributes Server-maintained metadata such as modifyTimestamp, createTimestamp, entryUUID, entryCSN, and uSNChanged; read to drive incremental polling and to key entries stably across syncs. Document Metadata & Properties Permissions, quality, and property fragments carried with each document. Operational attributes is specific to Ldap and Document Metadata & Properties to MarkLogic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schema (subschema subentry) The objectClass and attribute-type definitions the server exposes; read to validate that written attributes exist and are single- or multi-valued as expected. Databases & Forests Storage units that define the scope and placement of synced content. Schema (subschema subentry) is specific to Ldap and Databases & Forests to MarkLogic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Entries The fundamental unit of an LDAP directory, each addressed by a distinguished name (DN) and typed by its objectClass; synced two-way as records, with the DN driving upserts and attribute-level updates. Users & Roles Security principals that govern what an integration credential can read or write. Entries is specific to Ldap and Users & Roles to MarkLogic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Ldap and MarkLogic

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Ldap MarkLogic Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Ldap for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No universal native change feed.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to MarkLogic as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

MarkLogic Ldap Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls MarkLogic for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No exposed transaction log.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Ldap through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Ldap: LDAP defines no request quota; throughput is bounded by the server's sizelimit and timelimit administrative limits, connection and thread caps, and the CPU/IO it shares with live authentication traffic, so large syncs can contend with production lookups and must page results.

How the Ldap and MarkLogic connectors work

Ldap

Integration surface
LDAPv3 protocol (RFC 4511) over TCP, typically LDAPS on port 636 or StartTLS on 389; reaches any LDAPv3 directory server - OpenLDAP, Microsoft Active Directory, 389 Directory Server, Oracle Unified Directory, PingDS/ForgeRock, NetIQ eDirectory, Apache Directory.
Authentication
A bind DN and password (simple bind), typically over TLS, using a service account with rights to the target subtree. SASL mechanisms - GSSAPI/Kerberos, DIGEST-MD5, or EXTERNAL with a client certificate - are available where the server supports them.
Change detection
No universal native change feed. Incremental sync polls the modifyTimestamp operational attribute (or entryCSN / uSNChanged on servers that expose them) for entries changed since the last cursor; detecting deletes needs a server changelog or tombstones because a plain search cannot see removed entries. Some servers add Persistent Search or RFC 4533 content-sync (syncrepl), but that support is server-specific. No webhooks.
