Ravi,

LDAP is the protocol used to talk to the AD (AD is a directory services database). So what do you want to know about AD? From my point of view everything is in the wiki mentioned above.

Hello Alessandro,

That means AD is acts as database for user data,using LDAP connectors we can fetch data into GRC system

Is that my understanding is correct or we need to perform anything other than this.

Dear Ravi,

this is correct. For LDAP to work you need some field mappings which are also described in the wiki.
