User Authentication Using the LDAP Server

When LDAP is enabled, all systems (including EnterpriseOne) are directed to perform user authentication through the LDAP server.

LDAP and EnterpriseOne authentication

In this illustration, the security kernel in the Enterprise Server performs authentication against the LDAP server when LDAP is enabled in the [SECURITY] section of the jde.ini file of the Enterprise Server. Otherwise, when LDAP is disabled, the security kernel authenticates the user against the Enterprise Server database.
