LDAP Connection Setup

By /

This feature is available starting from version 4.11.

For on-premise installations, Appspace Intranet offers the possibility to connect to the local Active Directory via LDAP protocol, instead of the default mechanism (Active Directory .NET API). This alternative configuration is totally optional and it is suggested when there are particular conditions in the Active Directory configuration that cause errors consuming it from the Intranet. If no errors are detected, please do not apply this configuration. In any case, please contact Appspace Support before proceeding.

In version 4.11, this configuration is available in WSP installations. In upcoming versions, it will be also available for On-prem Add-in installations.
