A short guide about user validation in Plex-XML:

=== Two validation types ===
# You could use the internal user validation. User-Name and password is stored in the internal database (password as hash-code).
# You could use an external [[LDAP|LDAP-Service]] like MS-Active-Directory for user validation.

Both types can be mixed in one application.

=== Login name ===
The login name can be the user-id or the users mail address that is store in the user settings. Both entry's are unique in an application.

The mail address could be changed by the user in the user settings dialog as long as it is unique across all user.

=== LDAP validation ===
LDAP validation is done with the '''dstinguishedName''' e.g. '''dstinguishedName: CN=Cobain\, Kurt,CN=Users,DC=de,DC=nirvana,DC=net'''. In Plex-XML the dstinguishedName is store in the User-Parameter table with the key '''LDAPDN'''.

=== System-Parameter ===
There are some system parameter to customize user validation:
# '''MAX_PWD_AGE''': Max password age in days for internal user (0=unlimited).
# '''MAX_PWD_ERR''': Max login attempts with a wrong password before a user account is disabled.
# '''MAX_PWD_LENGTH''': Required password length for internal user.
# '''DIS_USER_AFTER''': Days before an user without login is disabled (0=unlimited).
# '''SESS_TIME_OUT''': Time in minutes before an unused session is disabled.

=== Tips ===
* '''User is disabled:''' Open the user dialog, uncheck the disabled field and set the failed logins field to zero.
* '''N user with same name:''' While the user id (per default the LDAP user name) is unique you need to setup the user manually with a unique name. User login can be done with that unique name or with the mail address. To integrate LDAP password verification you need to set the correct '''dstinguishedName''' in the user parameter e.g. '''LDAPDN = CN=Cobain\, Kurt,CN=Users,DC=de,DC=nirvana,DC=net'''
