| LDAP is the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, and provides user authentication via an LDAP server. Use of the plugin requires that both PEAR:Auth and the php ldap module are installed in your web server setup. In addition, obviously, an ((LDAPServerConfiguration|operational LDAP server)) is also required.
