12.2 External authentication (LDAP)
LDAP, (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol), is a standard protocol for
accessing information in a directory.
LDAP defines processes by which a client can connect to an X.500-compliant or
LDAP-compliant directory service to add, delete, modify, or search for
information, provided the client has sufficient access rights to the directory. For
example, a user could use an LDAP client to query a directory server on the
network for information about specific users, computers, departments, or any other
information stored in the directory.
Note! AccessIT supports Windows 2003 and Windows 2008 Active Directory
LDAP Authentication.
