An enterprise network usually contains office automation, financial information filter, email, and network device and server management applications. All these applications require identity authentication, and different applications require different authorities. CVM provides support for LDAP authentication to perform centralized management on the identity authentication information.
Perform this task to configure the LDAP authentication server. When an operator logs in to CVM through the LDAP authentication mode, the operator must pass the identity authentication on the server.
