Why teams connect Ldap and StarRocks

Close the gap between analytics and operations: StarRocks holds the record while Ldap runs the day-to-day work, and Stacksync keeps the two in step in real time, in both directions.

StarRocks is the central store where teams keep Views, Partitions, Columns, Databases for reporting and analysis; Ldap runs the operational side of engineering work — tracking issues, moving messages and events, watching systems, and managing users and access. The two overlap wherever the same operational data matters to both: the Attributes, Operational attributes, Schema (subschema subentry), Entries produced in Ldap are exactly what analysts want to measure in StarRocks, and the curated rows in StarRocks are what should drive the next action in Ldap. When that overlap is bridged by nightly ETL or hand-written scripts, dashboards lag a day behind reality and the tools that should react to warehouse signals never see them.

Stacksync syncs Views, Partitions, Columns, Databases in StarRocks with Attributes, Operational attributes, Schema (subschema subentry), Entries in Ldap field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields; Stacksync matches records on a stable external key, keeps every copy consistent, and resolves conflicts by rules you set — so analytics and operations work from the same current data instead of two drifting copies.

Common use cases

  • 01 Consolidate several sources into StarRocks as the query layer while Stacksync handles movement
  • 02 Land CRM and ERP records into StarRocks to serve low-latency operational dashboards
  • 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

Operational data lands in StarRocks for analytics

Records created in Ldap — issues, events, messages, metrics, or user changes — replicate into StarRocks tables as they happen, so reporting runs on current data instead of last night's export.

Warehouse signals reach Ldap

A row scored, flagged, or enriched in StarRocks creates or updates the matching record in Ldap, so the operational tool acts on the same data the analysts already see.

Backfill history, then stay live

Load the existing set of Attributes, Operational attributes, Schema (subschema subentry), Entries into StarRocks once, then keep it current with every change — you get full history plus real-time updates without a separate pipeline.

What you can sync between Ldap and StarRocks

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 StarRocks objects How this pairing syncs
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. Tables Defined with a table model (Primary Key, Unique Key, Aggregate, Duplicate Key) that determines update behavior. Schema (subschema subentry) is specific to Ldap and Tables to StarRocks — 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. Materialized views Automatically maintained rollups used to accelerate queries on synced data. Entries is specific to Ldap and Materialized views to StarRocks — 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. Views Logical views for shaping analytical reads. Person entries (inetOrgPerson / user) is specific to Ldap and Views to StarRocks — 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. Partitions Time or range partitions that scope loads and retention. Groups (groupOfNames / posixGroup) is specific to Ldap and Partitions to StarRocks — 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. Columns Columnar storage with types mapped from source systems during sync. Organizational units (ou) is specific to Ldap and Columns to StarRocks — 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. Databases Top-level namespaces addressed exactly as in MySQL clients. Attributes is specific to Ldap and Databases to StarRocks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Ldap and StarRocks

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

StarRocks Ldap Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls StarRocks for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Query-based polling when reading.

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.
  • StarRocks: Ingestion throughput is bounded by cluster resources rather than API quotas.

How the Ldap and StarRocks 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.
