2FA through LDAP Protocol
The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is an open, cross-platform software protocol used for authentication and communication in directory services. LDAP provides the language that applications use to communicate with each other in directory services, which store computer accounts, users, and passwords and share them with other entities on networks. This allows applications and users to find and verify the information they need from across their organization.
Because of its ability to interact with directory services, such as Microsoft’s Active Directory (AD), LDAP is an essential tool for businesses. The protocol is used to communicate with AD and connects clients—computers that connect to and use the resources of remote computers or servers—to the information they need within directory services.

Together, GreenRADIUS and YubiKeys allow customers to meet federal compliance with FIPS 140-2 and NIST SP 800-63-3
Note that Active Directory and other user directories are supported “out of the box” in GreenRADIUS, so that organizations can always use their network credentials as the first factor. The LDAP Module allows support for another authentication protocol in addition to the built-in RADIUS protocol.
