Authentication

From the moment the user is created in IPBrick, there shall be a register in the database of the authentication server - LDAP^5.1. LDAP is defined as a directory service where is kept the information relating the computer resources of the company and its users. Whenever an user intends to authenticate in a certain service with his/her username and password, the IPBrick LDAP database is consulted to validate or not the access.
