Can someone help come up with reasons on when to use LDAP vs Active Directory on APM SSO Authentication?

Can someone help come up with reasons on when to use LDAP vs Active Directory on APM SSO Authentication?

 

AD

-          If you want to change password when it expired

LDAP

-          Easier to define

Thanks

    Well, for one, both support the LDAP protocol, and the AD also supports the Kerberos protocol, which provides stronger authentication.
