The LDAP/AD Auth pane allows you to add and manage LDAP and AD authentication providers.

LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) provides centralized services for login authentication and storage of / access to usernames and passwords within a network directory. LDAP uses group mechanisms to facilitate user authentication management.

The AD (Active Directory) service authenticates users and devices in a Windows or UNIX-based domain network, and verifies permissions to determine the user access level at login.

Each Manufacturing Connect Edge instance contains a default user registry for authentication and authorization. LDAP and AD settings allow you to integrate the Manufacturing Connect Edge login system with an external authentication registry. For example, this external registry might be the username and password combinations for your company network. You can add multiple LDAP Authentications.
