Congure LDAP Server

Path: Security > Authentication > External Auth Server > LDAP Server

The LDAP authentication method uses LDAP to exchange authentication credentials between the controller and

external server. The LDAP server maintains a large database of users in a directory structure, so users with the

same username but belonging to dierent groups can be authenticated since the user information is stored in

a hierarchal manner. Also of note is that conguring a LDAP server on Windows or Linux servers is considerably

less complex than setting up NT Domain or Active Directory servers for user authentication.
