Configure LDAP settings for iOS Devices
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol or LDAP is a protocol that is used to access Active Directory components such as the name and email address of a user. It also stores the user information and credentials in the Active directory. Hexnode allows the admin to configure LDAP settings for iOS devices from the Hexnode console.
Note:
LDAP configuration for iOS devices is available on all pricing plans except Express.
