Special instructions for those of you using LDAP Authentication:
Version 8.0 of infoRouter introduces a new method in LDAP authentication.
This new method requires the installation of two services.
LDAP Synchronization Manager
LDAP Authentication Service
LDAP Synchronization Manager
This service allows you to synchronize LDAP user groups with infoRouter. Because this program runs as a service, any changes made to the selected LDAP Group (New users, disabled users, deleted users etc.) are automatically communicated to infoRouter.
This program is strictly optional and does not have to be installed or running to be able to achieve LDAP authentication.
LDAP Authentication Service
This service provides authentication services to infoRouter. Although not a strict requirement, it is recommended that this service is installed on a domain controller or a backup domain controller for best performance results.
If you use multiple domains in your organization, you can install and configure this service on multiple domain controllers.
For more information on how to install and configure LDAP Authentication, please refer to specific documentation on this topic.
