Under Local Authentication, administrators and managers are authenticated using credentials
you enter directly on the Admin Console.

Under LDAP Authentication, administrators and managers are authenticated against an LDAP
server. To use this option, you must initially connect to the Admin Console using the admin account
and the password you assign the account during configuration, then provide settings for the LDAP
administrator group and the LDAP server itself. After you save the LDAP information, LDAP
authentication for administrators and managers takes effect.

Under Local and LDAP authentication, the search appliance attempts to authenticate
administrators and managers against both the local credentials and the LDAP server. If an account
can be authenticated against either the local credentials or the LDAP server, the login attempt
succeeds

access is needed to determine whether your search appliance is eligible to be returned to Google and
exchanged for a new search appliance. Different access methods have different requirements. The
requirements for remote access are discussed in Remote access methods for technical support (
