Google App Script LDAP Access Control

Question

Is there a way to restrict access to an application built on Google App Script using LDAP? Can Google App Script access LDAP?

Answer 1

There are a couple of ways to look at this problem.

1. Apps Script cannot directly access your LDAP system. Apps Script has ability make HTTP calls to REST/SOAP services, make JDBC calls to external databases but it doesn't have built in support for the LDAP directory.
2. However, if you are using Apps Script w/in a Google Apps domain then you can tie in Google user accounts to LDAP using Google Apps Directory Sync. Once this is setup, you can deploy your Apps Script to only allow people w/in your domain and Google will make them login before they can access the Apps Script.

Hope this helps.
