When you select LDAP Authentication, the Spider device will communicate with a Microsoft Active
Directory or generic LDAP server for user authentication. The user profile must be set up in the
local database as described in Local User Management, but no password is stored locally. When a
user attempts to log in, the Spider device contacts the specified LDAP server, which either
approves or denies access.
