LDAP Authentication

Under LDAP authentication mode, the login name and password supplied by the website user is confirmed with an LDAP-compliant directory server. Two types of sites may prefer this mode:

• Sites that are maintaining their user logins and passwords in their corporate directories
• Sites that are maintaining the user accounts data on mainframes and have LDAP access to these data centers

In either case, the login names and passwords that are authenticated are valid LDAP directory user accounts.

Note: The login names you create to be users of the Notification Website must directly correspond to either the Windows user accounts (if you use Windows authentication mode), or the LDAP directory user accounts (if you use LDAP Authentication mode). Otherwise, the authentication, if enabled, will fail.
