LDAP
From Plex-XML
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), an Internet protocol for accessing directories. It is an open industry standard that has evolved to meet the needs for accessing and updating information in directories. LDAP is gaining wide acceptance as the directory access method of the Internet and is therefore also becoming strategic within corporate intranets. It is supported by a growing number of software vendors and operating systems.
Directory Services can be used for a variety of tasks, such as:
- User authentication and authorization for Web servers or other LDAP-enabled applications
- Locating and providing information about people, groups and distributed resources like printers
- Policies that are shared by multiple applications or application instances

LDAP in Plex-XML
The integrated Plex-XML Security-Pattern can use internal password validation or LDAP services. Both methods can be mixed. So you are able to have some of your user validated via LDAP and some user that will be validated internal.
