Management


LDAP Integration

In addition, the platform supports LDAP configuration for seamless authentication.

Only authentication is managed by a LDAP server.

Other properties continue to be configured in the tool.

This can be easily set up in the Global Settings Dashboard, giving you more control over access permissions.
