Product Documentation : Big Memory Max Security Guide : Using LDAP or Active Directory for Authentication : Introduction
Introduction
Note:  
For a brief overview of Terracotta security with links to individual topics, see the Overview of BigMemory Max Security.
Instead of using the built-in user management system, you can set up authentication and authorization for the Terracotta Server Array (TSA) based on the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). This allows you to use your existing security infrastructure for controlling access to Terracotta clusters.
The two types of LDAP-based authentication supported are Microsoft Active Directory and standard LDAP. In addition, LDAPS (LDAP over SSL) is supported.
Note:  
Terracotta servers must be configured to use SSL before any Active Directory or standard LDAP can be used.
Note:  
This topic assumes that the reader has knowledge of standard LDAP concepts and usage.
