Integrating LDAP with Microsoft AD
LDAP integration is possible without the SSO server. The Automation controller will refer directly to the LDAP server. To configure it in the GUI, navigate to Settings | LDAP authentication.

A key point is the values to use; at the top of the previous section is a reference on how to get values to connect to an AD server. Those same values will be reused here.
As before, it is possible to configure these settings through the GUI, API, modules, and roles. There are instructions on how to use each earlier in this chapter.
