A Workbench administrator can configure Workbench to authenticate users against user profiles stored on an LDAP server. The roles and permissions associated with each user profile are stored in the Workbench database.

The user profiles in the LDAP directory must be created independently of Workbench, which cannot write anything to LDAP directories.

For information about how to integrate LDAP with Oracle Commerce Workbench, refer to the Oracle Commerce Guided Search Administrator's Guide.
