An outpost is a single deployment of a authentik component, which can be deployed in a completely separate environment. Currently, only the Proxy Provider is supported as outpost.

You can configure an LDAP Provider for applications that don't support any newer protocols or require LDAP.
:::info
Note: This provider requires the deployment of the [LDAP Outpost](../outposts/outposts.md)
:::
All users and groups in authentik's database are searchable. Currently, there is a limited support for filters (you can only search for objectClass), but this will be expanded in further releases.
Binding against the LDAP Server uses a flow in the background. This allows you to use the same policies and flows as you do for web-based logins. The only limitation is that currently only identification and password stages are supported, due to how LDAP works.
