Is the "new product" cloud based or internal? If internal I can't see why you would need your DCs/LDAP servers to be available to the public internet. If cloud based just open up to the IP of the server in the cloud to allow authentication. And insist on LDAP over SSL. al -- A

Are you sure that's what they're asking, and that they aren't simply asking to have ldap access from some external IP address range which you'd provide via an inbound firewall rule with an ACL and NAT so that only their specific IP addresses can authenticate? Not sure I'd be too comfortable wit

This comes up every now and then. Before the various federation technologies became prevalent it was a lot more common, but now not so much. Generally what you do is publish the LDAPS or GC/S port with an ACL that restricts source IPs. If the app can't failover between a couple of names then you
