LDAP Configuration
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is a directory service for centralizing
management of users, groups, hostnames, and other resources (called objects). This service on
the appliance acts as an LDAP client so that:
■
LDAP users can log in to the FTP and HTTP services.
■
LDAP user names (instead of numerical ids) can be used to configure root directory ACLs
on a share.
