can i connect newly installed LDAP server on ec2 instance with Azure AD

Question

Hello,
recently i am facing one challenge while migrating on application to AWS env. Use case is like I have Azure AD set up already bt we cant directly access it due to it seems like it does not support LDAP , so we were thinking to have config like to creating new LDAP server on linux instance in AWS and somehow sync up the Azure AD with it and then use those LDAP server credentials in my Application.
But after some try I am not able to find a proper way to achieve this, I am wondering if anyone can help me with that or at least suggest is it possible or not, if not what can be an alternate way to achieve this.

Answer

You are correct that Azure AD does not support LDAP directly. However, you can achieve your goal by using Azure AD Domain Services (AAD DS), which provides a managed domain service with LDAP support.

- First, you need to enable AAD DS for your Azure AD directory.
- Configure a VPN or ExpressRoute connection
- Once you have the network connection established, set up your LDAP server on the AWS EC2 instance to use Azure AD Domain Services as a backend. Use the AAD DS domain and credentials to configure your LDAP server.
