Explanation

LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is used to query and authenticate against directory services such as Microsoft Active Directory. It verifies user credentials and checks group memberships and permissions to determine whether a user is authorized to access a given resource, including remote servers. VPN provides an encrypted tunnel for remote access but does not itself handle authorization decisions. RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) is the protocol used to carry out remote desktop sessions - it relies on an authentication/authorization service to validate access. Encryption secures data in transit but plays no role in determining access rights.
