Security

Centralize database authentication. Eliminate local passwords.

The Database Ninja team integrates your database estate with Active Directory across every major platform. Oracle CMU, SQL Server Windows Authentication, PostgreSQL LDAP, and MySQL PAM-based authentication. One identity, one password, one place to revoke access.

Active Directory Integration for Databases
Overview

Stop managing local database accounts.

Local database accounts are a security and operational liability. Every database has its own user table, every team manages access differently, and when someone leaves the company you have to remember every database where they had an account. The Database Ninja team eliminates all of that by integrating your databases with Active Directory.

We handle the integration across every major platform. Oracle Centrally Managed Users (CMU) with Kerberos. SQL Server Windows Authentication integrated into AD groups. PostgreSQL LDAP authentication with pg_ident.conf role mapping. MySQL PAM-based authentication through SSSD. Same identity, same password, same lifecycle, regardless of which database they connect to.

The end state is a database estate where every login goes through your central identity provider. When someone leaves the company, you disable their AD account and they lose access to every database immediately. No more orphaned accounts, no more shared credentials, no more spreadsheets tracking who has access to what.

What's Included

What AD integration covers.

Identity Mapping Design

AD group structure design that maps cleanly to database roles. Least privilege by default, easy to audit.

Oracle CMU Deployment

Kerberos-based authentication via Centrally Managed Users. We have done it across single-instance, RAC, and Exadata environments.

SQL Server AD Integration

Windows Authentication via AD groups. Cleanup of legacy SQL logins and migration to integrated authentication.

PostgreSQL LDAP

LDAP search and bind authentication, pg_ident.conf role mapping, and group-based authorization.

MySQL PAM Authentication

SSSD-based PAM authentication for MySQL Enterprise and Percona Server. Group-based access via the auth_pam plugin.

Migration and Cutover

Phased migration from local accounts to AD-backed authentication with no downtime and a tested rollback path.

Why Database Ninja

Why AD integration matters.

Security at the source

Every authentication event goes through your central identity provider. MFA, conditional access, and lifecycle management apply to your databases the same way they apply to everything else.

Audit-ready

Auditors love centralized authentication because it is easy to verify. Every access decision is logged in one place and tied to a real human identity.

Operational simplicity

No more forgotten local accounts. No more password rotations across dozens of databases. One identity, one lifecycle, one source of truth.
