LDAP Input
Description
LDAP Input queries an LDAP directory server and retrieves entries such as users, roles, groups, and organizational units. Use this step when your workflow needs to pull directory data for user provisioning, access auditing, or identity synchronization. It supports search filters to narrow results, paging for large directories, and configurable search scope to control how deep the query traverses the directory tree.
