LDAP User
Deprecated: LDAP
Recommendation
Customers still using LDAP to integrate with dotCMS should migrate to a different Single Sign-On (SSO) solution, such as SAML (through Azure or another Identity Provider).
Reason
LDAP is more suited to self-hosted instances, while dotCMS is shifting emphasis to cloud solutions for a variety of reasons: consistency in support, moving to an evergreen release model, etc.
This is a system role assigned to users through LDAP integration ONLY.
The LDAP User role should never be assigned manually to any user. This role indicates that the user was created from data found in LDAP. If the server is integrated with an LDAP service, and a user with the LDAP User tries to log in, the system will look for the user in LDAP. If the user is not found, it will be deleted.
