class.
• Authentication refers to determining the authenticity of the person logging in.
• Authorization refers to assigning permission to use the device's various features.
In order to configure the LDAP server, you will have to complete the following procedures: 1) Install the Windows 2003 Support Tools; 2) Install
the Active Directory Schema Snap-in; and 3) Extend and Update the Active Directory Schema.
