Configuring External Authentication
Users added to the system through the LDAP Sync Tool are automatically configured as remote LDAP users in the
ISIS system. When a remote LDAP user logs into the ISIS system, ISIS checks with an external LDAP server to
authenticate the user instead of the local ISIS user database. Before remote LDAP users can access the ISIS system,
you must configure ISIS to use an external LDAP server for authentication.
For more information on working with LDAP users and groups, see
“Managing LDAP Accounts” on page 99.
