LDAP Login Restriction
This section includes essential features for managing user authentication and enforcing access restrictions across both the LDAP server and the Drupal site. It provides multiple configuration options that can be tailored based on your specific use case. By configuring the features within this section, administrators can control how users are authenticated and how access is regulated on each side.
