Active Directory service management
Active Directory is the directory server that holds all the user profiles. Active Directory provides user
authentication and authorization using LDAP as authentication protocol. Active Directory provides
better security while using remote authentication mechanism.
You can add, remove, and modify settings of Active Directory Server.
Enabling Active Directory service
For adding a new Active Directory server, you must provide the server IP address, port number,
secret string, timeout value, and LDAP as the authentication protocol. The server IP address may
be in either IPv4 or IPv6 format. Select Active Directory as the server type; the dialog box displays
LDAP as the only authentication protocol.
