## Description {#description}

The [`mc idp ldap`](#command-mc.idp.ldap) commands allow you to manage configurations to 3rd party [Active Directory or LDAP Identity and Access Management (IAM) integrations](/administration/identity-access-management/ad-ldap-access-management/#minio-external-identity-management-ad-ldap).

The [`mc idp ldap`](#command-mc.idp.ldap) commands are an alternative to using environment variables when [setting up an AD/LDAP connection](/operations/external-iam/configure-ad-ldap-external-identity-management/#minio-authenticate-using-ad-ldap-generic). They are only supported against MinIO deployments.

See [Active Directory / LDAP Access Management](/administration/identity-access-management/ad-ldap-access-management/#minio-external-identity-management-ad-ldap) for a tutorial on using these commands.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note**
>
> MinIO [AD/LDAP environment variables](/reference/minio-server/settings/iam/ldap/#minio-server-envvar-external-identity-management-ad-ldap) override their corresponding configuration settings as modified or set by this command.

The [`mc idp ldap`](#command-mc.idp.ldap) command has the following subcommands:
