CMS supports LDAP Active Directory for user management. You can integrate CMS with Active Directory on Windows Server, but only with a single Active Directory system. Azure Active Directory is not supported.
You can administer traditional CMS Linux users and LDAP-authenticated users. When LDAP is enabled, the User Data page in CMS provides an option to identify LDAP-authenticated users. When users log in to CMS, they are authenticated through the LDAP server. You do not need to manage Linux passwords for LDAP-authenticated users.
With LDAP integration, you can log in to all CMS interfaces:
To protect personal data, you can encrypt the connection to the Active Directory server. LDAP data encryption is optional and can be enabled during installation of the LDAP authentication feature package. Certificate setup is required to enable encryption.
