SPD Server user data
is maintained in an internal SPD Server password manager database
. Each record in the password manager database describes the specific
attributes and capabilities that are associated with an individual
user. SPD Server uses two types of user authentication: LDAP (Lightweight
Directory Access Protocol) and traditional authentication (which SPD
Server performs internally). LDAP authentication is performed by an
LDAP server that runs on the SPD Server host machine. For more information
about using LDAP with SPD Server, see
LDAP Authentication.
