Why teams connect Ldap and Redis Enterprise

Keep Redis Enterprise and Ldap in step: the rows in your database and the Organizational units (ou), Attributes, Operational attributes, Schema (subschema subentry) your engineering tools track stay consistent in real time, in both directions.

Redis Enterprise 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 Lists, Streams, Pub/Sub channels, Search indexes in Redis Enterprise with Organizational units (ou), Attributes, Operational attributes, Schema (subschema subentry) 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 Publish record-change events into Redis Streams so microservices react to upstream CRM updates without polling.
  • 02 Hydrate session stores and feature stores from a warehouse or operational database on a schedule.
  • 03 Read person, group, and organizationalUnit entries into a warehouse for periodic access reviews and audit evidence without LDIF exports.
  • 04 Connect a niche or legacy directory server that has no dedicated Stacksync connector but speaks LDAPv3, syncing it over a bind DN and TLS.

Common sync patterns

Land tool activity as queryable rows

Records and events from Ldap arrive in Redis Enterprise 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 Redis Enterprise 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 Redis Enterprise, and writes to Redis Enterprise propagate to Ldap within seconds, so triggers, jobs, and alerts fire without polling.

What you can sync between Ldap and Redis Enterprise

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 Redis Enterprise objects How this pairing syncs
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. Search indexes Secondary indexes (RediSearch) that make synced hashes and JSON documents queryable. Entries is specific to Ldap and Search indexes to Redis Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Person entries (inetOrgPerson / user) People held under objectClasses such as inetOrgPerson, person, or Active Directory user; synced two-way to create accounts and update attributes like mail, cn, and telephoneNumber. Keys (Strings) Simple key-value pairs used to cache individual synced records or lookup values. Person entries (inetOrgPerson / user) is specific to Ldap and Keys (Strings) to Redis Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Hashes Field-value maps that commonly hold one synced row per hash, keyed by record ID. Groups (groupOfNames / posixGroup) is specific to Ldap and Hashes to Redis Enterprise — 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. JSON documents Native JSON storage (RedisJSON) for nested records synced from APIs or document stores. Organizational units (ou) is specific to Ldap and JSON documents to Redis Enterprise — 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. Sets Unordered unique-member collections used for membership checks like segment or ID lists. Attributes is specific to Ldap and Sets to Redis Enterprise — 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. Sorted Sets Score-ordered collections used for rankings, priority queues, and time-ordered indexes. Operational attributes is specific to Ldap and Sorted Sets to Redis Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Ldap and Redis Enterprise

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 Redis Enterprise 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 Redis Enterprise as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Redis Enterprise Ldap Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Redis Enterprise for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Keyspace notifications over pub/sub or reads from Redis Streams.

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.
  • Redis Enterprise: Throughput is bounded by provisioned cluster capacity rather than published API rate limits.

How the Ldap and Redis Enterprise 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.
