I'm not sure if I fully understand your question. But if you are asking about whether or not LDAP can be incorporated into MDM such that the end users (in the Portal) only need to be created once, then the answer is yes. If you are asking whether or not MDM and EP should be used as a user database, then the answer is no.

If you would like to know more about MDM and LDAP check page 303 of the MDM Console reference guide.

Hi

No,We can not use the portal or MDM as only for persisting of users.Generally Portal is nothing but its like a corporate portal designed based on the role performed by each employee,Its like umbrella for various applications integrated together.

MDM is used for normalization and Harmonizing the data also for synking the same single truth of data across the business.

They are not designed to just store user data.

Normally a LDAP server is used to store user info and EP is going to fetch the users from LDAP.

If you need you can use MDM to normalize the user data stored in other places like DB or LDAP server.
