Seamless Access Between Synology NAS and Google Workspace Using Secure LDAP
A new way to manage identities that uses Google Cloud Identity and is improved by Epis Technology
Unified identity and access management is becoming more and more important as more and more businesses move to hybrid cloud environments. Businesses are now using cloud-based directory solutions like Google Cloud Identity instead of keeping separate user directories for cloud services and on-premises infrastructure. Synology NAS devices can connect directly to Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) and Cloud Identity thanks to Google’s Secure LDAP feature. This makes authentication easier, boosts security, and makes IT operations easier.
Epis Technology’s expert deployment and optimization make this powerful integration even better. It lets businesses create a highly secure, centralized, and efficient identity-management ecosystem in both cloud and on-premises environments.
A single identity experience Between Synology and Google Workspace
Secure LDAP lets Synology NAS join a Google Cloud Identity or Google Workspace domain. This makes it possible for companies to standardize user accounts across platforms. This means that you don’t have to keep separate identities, which cuts down on administrative work and makes access security stronger overall.
1. Easier management of identities and access
With Cloud Identity, people can use their Google accounts to log in to DSM and Synology apps, just like they do for Workspace.
- IT teams don’t have to set up and manage duplicate user accounts anymore
- Setting up users is faster and more reliable
- Users have a smooth, unified login experience
This single sign-on feature makes daily tasks a lot easier and increases productivity for teams that are spread out.
2. Syncing Users and Central Authentication
IT administrators can use Secure LDAP to sync existing Google user accounts directly into Synology DSM.
- No more making accounts by hand
- Google Cloud Identity makes sure that authentication is safe
- Lessens the amount of work IT has to do and the chance of human error
3. Easier backup and data protection
With Synology Active Backup for Google Workspace, admins can back up Gmail, Drive, Calendar, and Contacts without having to pay for extra software licenses.
When Secure LDAP is turned on:
- Workspace users can use their Google accounts to get to self-service restore portals
- Admins can see everything in one place and make backups more easily
This integration keeps Google Workspace data completely safe while still being easy for users to use.
A hybrid cloud environment that works better
In the past, IT teams had to deal with two identity systems: one for on-premises LDAP and another for cloud SaaS apps. Secure LDAP changes that:
- One console can handle all user and device management
- You can always enforce rules, policies, and access rights
- It is easier, faster, and safer to run hybrid cloud environments
Secure LDAP is a great choice for companies that use multi-site and cloud-first strategies because Synology is dedicated to hybrid cloud architecture.
