Overview
This guide will show you how to setup LDAP setting in Virtualizor.
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is widely used to build central authentication servers. These servers contain usernames and passwords for all the users within a network. Any applications and services can connect to the LDAP server to authenticate and authorize users. Enabling LDAP within the master settings of Virtualizor adds a layer of security, allowing only validated users present in the LDAP server, with configured mail attributes, to access the Virtualizor panel.
NOTE: At the moment it is only supported for Admin panel login.
