• LDAP / Active Directory: Links the user to a LDAP / active directory: If using a windows domain, the user name corresponds to the domain name. If connecting to a LDAP directory, the user name corresponds to the distinguished name Further information on configuration can be found in Chapter 10 in the “LDAP / ADS Authentication” section.

A user role embodies the permissions and properties a user in vistrax has. Access permissions are grouped in categories.
