When you create a new registered Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (
LDAP) Server in the ePO console, you can select multiple server types, including the following:
- Active Directory (AD)
- OpenLDAP
- eDirectory
IMPORTANT:
- ePO currently supports only Microsoft AD.
- The eDirectory Server type is no longer supported. It can be removed from the ePO console in future versions of ePO.
- OpenLDAP was never supported for any of the features for which ePO uses LDAP (ADSync, Automatic User Creation, NT Authentication). This registered server type is added because older versions of Endpoint Encryption for PC supported OpenLDAP. But, current versions of Drive Encryption (DE) no longer support OpenLDAP.
NOTE: Endpoint Encryption for PC is now called DE.
- Product Engineering is evaluating the removal of the OpenLDAP registered server type in a future release of ePO. It currently has no supported use case.
