Active Directory and LDAP/SSL

The XCP 1091 release introduces support for the Active Directory and LDAP/SSL
features.
Active Directory is a distributed directory service from Microsoft Corporation.
■
Like an LDAP directory service, it is used to authenticate users.
LDAP/SSL offers enhanced security to LDAP users by way of Secure Socket
■
Layer (SSL) technology. It uses LDAP directory service to authenticate users.
Note – For security reasons, XSCF uses only LDAP over SSL protocol (LDAPS) to
communicate with an Active Directory server or an LDAP/SSL server.
Active Directory and LDAP/SSL each provides both authentication of user
credentials and authorization of the user access level to networked resources. They
use authentication to verify the identity of users before they can access system
resources, and to grant specific access privileges to users in order to control their
rights to access networked resources.
