Allowing Access for Users from an LDAP Directory

Building Mobile Enterprise Applications : webMethods Mobile Administrator User's Guide : Managing Domains : Allowing Access for Users from an LDAP Directory

When you edit a domain, you can optionally specify information for connecting to an LDAP server. The configured LDAP users will then be able to log in to Mobile Administrator and the app store. For more information, see Managing Users.

As a rule, a company only uses a single LDAP server. If you need to define an additional LDAP server, you have to create an additional domain. See Creating a New Domain.
