Configure LDAP in Password Comparison Mode

You can configure LDAP in a password comparison mode.

1. Enter your user ID and password from your external user account.
2. The system attempts to bind to the LDAP repository with credentials enabling execution of necessary queries.
3. The system searches for the user in the LDAP directory with the proper userid.
4. The system retrieves the user password from the LDAP directory.
5. The system compares the password supplied by the user with the password retrieved from the LDAP directory. If the passwords match, you are authenticated and permitted access to the system. If the passwords do not match, you are not authenticated and not permitted access.
