# Overview

Keeper Bridge consists of a client application and a windows service. The client application allows the user to configure settings specific to the Directory Service and also functions as a service controller allowing the user to adjust LDAP Filter settings and publish to the service for updates.

The windows service is designed to Poll the Directory Tree for Nodes, Roles, Teams and Users, providing a familiar structure for Role, Team and User management within the Keeper Admin Console and inviting users to join Keeper. The Polling Interval can be configured from 5 to 1440 minutes. The client application can be installed on multiple systems for use by multiple admins. The service must be installed on only one host system per Keeper Bridge instance. All client applications access the single instance of the service.&#x20;
