Active Directory LDAP Settings
Administration > Manage Site Settings > Active Directory LDAP Settings
LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is an Internet protocol that email and other programs use to look up information on a server. As a protocol, LDAP defines the "language" used for client programs to talk to servers (and servers to talk to servers). On the client-side, a client may be an email program, a printer browser, or an address book. The server may speak only LDAP, or have other methods of sending and receiving data – LDAP may just be an add-on method. LDAP also defines permissions set by the administrator to allow only certain people to access the LDAP database, and optionally keep certain data private. If this is not applicable, leave blank.
