Setting the LDAP Server of Remote Authentication
When you set [LDAP] for [Authentication System], register the LDAP server information
with the device.
The device supports Active Directory and OpenLDAP as the LDAP server.
For how to see the DN method or attribute values of Active Directory and how to add accounts to a group,
consult the official website of Microsoft Corporation.
If the registration information such as the attribute name includes the characters that cannot be entered
through the touch screen, use CentreWare Internet Services.
