The Control Center can optionally use directory information from LDAP servers
at your site for one or both of the following purposes:
Authentication—LDAP user and password data is used for Quarantine access
■
authentication and resolving email aliases for quarantined messages. The
Control Center reads user and password data directly from the LDAP server.
Synchronization—LDAP user and group data is used for group policies,
■
directory harvest attack recognition, distribution list expansion and
dropping messages for invalid recipients. User and group data is read from
the LDAP server and cached in the Control Center and Scanners, but not
written back to the LDAP server.
Symantec Mail Security for SMTP supports the following LDAP directory types:
Windows 2000 Active Directory
■
Windows 2003 Active Directory
■
