Windows Active Directory (LDAP/SSO)

The Windows Active Directory (LDAP) authentication method uses a simple bind authentication process. The user is identified by the Active Directory (AD) and the proof of identity comes in the form of a password. When a more secure method is required Secure LDAP (SLDAP) can be used.

Windows Active Directory (SSO) authentication allows users, once they have signed in to Windows, to automatically sign in to the system. Password verification takes place during Windows sign in. Upon success, a Kerberos ticket is generated.When the user is authenticated by the system the Kerberos ticket is validated.
