LDAP Authentication

LDAP for SME Server 8

Description

LDAP authentication

For SME 8 only, LDAP is readonly

This allows the use of SME user's database in other applications

either local, eg. a LAMP app

on the server itself, eg. egroupware

on the local network, eg. another server in the local network which runs an ERP, but uses SME server user/group database

or even a remote host, eg. a GLPI instance used to manage requests from several clients using SME server.
