One can integrate an LDAP directory with OfficeExpert in order to allow users from a corporate directory to access OfficeExpert information.

This article explains how to configure the integration with an Active Directory or Domino LDAP.

Note: The internal user accounts (e.g. Config) will remain active and valid in parallel to all the LDAP objects.
