LDAP Authentication
A Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory contains user and user group information stored
on an LDAP server. Administrators can use LDAP to manage users in the LDAP directory and connect
to multiple NAS devices with the same login details. This feature requires a running LDAP server and
knowledge of Linux servers, LDAP servers, and Samba.
