title: "LDAP Connection"
description: "Learn how to configure an LDAP Connection for Infisical."
---
Infisical supports the use of [Simple Binding](https://ldap.com/the-ldap-bind-operation) to connect with your LDAP provider.
## Prerequisites
You will need the following information to establish an LDAP connection:
- **LDAP URL** - The LDAP/LDAPS URL to connect to (e.g., ldap://domain-or-ip:389 or ldaps://domain-or-ip:636)
- **Binding DN/UPN** - The Distinguished Name (DN), or User Principal Name (UPN) if supported, of the principal to bind with (e.g., 'CN=John,CN=Users,DC=example,DC=com')
- **Binding Password** - The password to bind with for authentication
- **CA Certificate** - The SSL certificate (PEM format) to use for secure connection when using ldaps:// with a self-signed certificate
Depending on how you intend to use your LDAP connection, there may be additional requirements:

For Password Rotation, the following requirements must additionally be met:
- You must use an LDAPS connection
- The binding user must either have:
- Permission to change other users passwords if rotating directory users' passwords
- Permission to update their own password if rotating their personal password
