 | This feature is only supported in FarCry 4.1. For details on LDAP support in ealier versions see the Farcry 3 documentation. |
As of FarCry 4.1, all user directories can be defined outside the core. While the basic FarCry user directory (where users and groups are stored in the application database) is still included in the core, LDAP and Active Directory user directories have been moved to plugins.
The LDAP plugin (farcryldap) provides a quick way to hook simple LDAP servers into a project.
