Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
This page covers the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) profile configuration for iOS devices in MDM. It guides administrators through setting up LDAP server connections by specifying key profile settings such as the display name, server address, username, password, and SSL options. Using LDAP profiles, IT teams can centrally manage and authenticate users against a directory server, simplifying account provisioning and access control across managed iOS devices.
