About LDAP

AE provides a client which authenticates login data using LDAP via Microsoft Active Directory or Oracle Directory Server. The client is part of the AE. When logging on, users are not authenticated in the AE but in Active Directory if the LDAP connection is active in the User object.

A global setting activates the LDAP connection for an AE system. Whether a user is checked when logging on either locally in the AE system or via the Active Directory or Oracle Directory Server, depends on the settings made in the particular User object. Thus, AE distinguishes local and LDAP users.
