Why teams connect Ldap and Yellowbrick

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

Yellowbrick is the central store where teams keep Schemas, Tables, Views, Users and Roles 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 Entries, Person entries (inetOrgPerson / user), Groups (groupOfNames / posixGroup), Organizational units (ou) produced in Ldap are exactly what analysts want to measure in Yellowbrick, and the curated rows in Yellowbrick 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 Schemas, Tables, Views, Users and Roles in Yellowbrick with Entries, Person entries (inetOrgPerson / user), Groups (groupOfNames / posixGroup), Organizational units (ou) 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 Push warehouse-computed aggregates or segments back into operational tools such as a CRM.
  • 02 Sync CRM and marketing data into Yellowbrick tables so it can be joined with large fact tables for enterprise BI.
  • 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

No batch jobs to babysit

New and changed records move field by field the moment they change, replacing scheduled ETL and one-off scripts that fail quietly and leave stale rows behind.

One shared record, kept consistent

Where both systems track the same entity, a change on either side propagates to the other, ending the manual reconciliation between the operational copy and the warehouse copy.

Keep user and access records aligned

Where Ldap manages users, directory, or access data, those records stay current in Yellowbrick — and can be provisioned back from it — so ownership and permissions match across both.

What you can sync between Ldap and Yellowbrick

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 Yellowbrick objects How this pairing syncs
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. Databases Top-level containers for schemas and tables. Person entries (inetOrgPerson / user) is specific to Ldap and Databases to Yellowbrick — 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. Schemas Namespaces used to organize synced datasets by source or domain. Groups (groupOfNames / posixGroup) is specific to Ldap and Schemas to Yellowbrick — 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. Tables Columnar MPP tables; the primary targets for warehouse syncs. Organizational units (ou) is specific to Ldap and Tables to Yellowbrick — 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. Views Logical views used to shape reads for BI and downstream syncs. Attributes is specific to Ldap and Views to Yellowbrick — 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. Users and Roles Access-control objects that govern what a sync service account can read and write. Operational attributes is specific to Ldap and Users and Roles to Yellowbrick — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Ldap and Yellowbrick

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

Yellowbrick Ldap Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Yellowbrick for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on timestamp columns.

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.
  • Yellowbrick: No API rate limits; throughput depends on cluster sizing, and bulk loads should use ybload rather than row-by-row inserts.

How the Ldap and Yellowbrick 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.
