While migrating your organization's infrastructure to GCP, a large number of users will need to access GCP Console. The Identity Management team already has a well-established way to manage your users and want to keep using your existing Active Directory or LDAP server along with the existing SSO password.
What should you do?
To allow a large number of users to access the GCP Console while keeping the existing Active Directory or LDAP server for identity management, use Google Cloud Directory Sync (GCDS).
Install GCDS:
Download and install Google Cloud Directory Sync from here.
Configure GCDS:
Set up the synchronization by specifying the LDAP server details and the Google domain.
Map the LDAP attributes to Google attributes to ensure user data is synchronized correctly.
Run Synchronization:
Perform an initial synchronization to populate the Google domain with existing users from the LDAP server.
Schedule regular synchronizations to keep the data up-to-date.
Benefits:
Automated Sync: Ensures that user data is consistently updated without manual intervention.
Secure Access: Users can log in to the GCP Console using their existing credentials, enhancing security and user experience.
