A directory service is a centralized database that stores information about users, groups, network devices, and other resources on the network. Examples of directory services include Active Directory by Microsoft and OpenLDAP. PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) and biometric services are security-related technologies that may be integrated with a directory service, while Kerberos is a network authentication protocol that relies on a directory service for user and server authentication.
