After configuring LDAP, you must select a Provider ID when logging in to Manufacturing Connect Edge.

The username is from the LDAP server. The password must match the Bind DN Password from the configuration. See [Add an LDAP/AD Provider](docId\:doB8RHCI11HljjmeW5CKs) for more information.

The Internal authentication Provider appears in the ID selection list. If you do not select another ID, Manufacturing Connect Edge uses the non-configurable default provider ID.

Manufacturing Connect Edge uses a self-signed Certificate. Follow the browser guidelines for how to bypass a self-signed security error message. See [Browser Access Restrictions](docId\:OFNgqwG3rD3Gj1YmG24B9) for more information.

**To log in with authentication:**

1. Enter the Manufacturing Connect Edge IP address into a browser add/URL bar. For example: `https://172.20.20.109`.
2. From the log in window, enter the authentication details:
   - **Username**: Enter the LDAP Server user name. 
   - **Enter Password**: Enter the password from the Bind DN configuration. 
   - **Provider ID**: Select **openldap**.
3. Click **Log In**.
