  • In addition, the following logic is updated for the LDAP settings at a user configuration level: Console > User Configuration Management Changes:

    • LDAP check box is enabled if either LDAP or Enable Re-Authentication is enabled at the system level.

      If neither is enabled, the check box is disabled.

    • LDAP Server ID drop-down is disabled and made blank when the Enable Re-Authentication check box is checked.

    • When both Enable Re-Authentication and LDAP details are configured simultaneously, then priority will be given to Re-Authentication feature.

      You may skip providing LDAP details when Re-Authentication URL is configured.
