Authentication Flow

When an LDAP user logs in:

  1. User enters credentials in infoRouter
  2. infoRouter queries LDAP server
  3. LDAP validates the password
  4. Access granted if valid

Password Storage

LDAP user passwords are never stored in infoRouter. Authentication always goes through the LDAP server.
