-====== Configure LDAP ======
-  * LDAP Integration is configured under the settings tab.
-  * One item that needs a bit more explanation is Filter.
-  * The filter contains a special character (**%s**) which will be substituted with the username that the user provide to log in.
-  * For active directory it will typically be **(&(objectClass=user)(samaccountname=%s))**.
-  * This filter will be applied when searching to find the DN of the user who needs to be authenticated.

+====== Adjusting the rights of a role ======
-====== Test LDAP Settings ======
+  * Should you need to adjust the rights for one of the roles, there is a dedicated section in the Wiki which covers that topic.
-  * There is also a **Test LDAP Settings** Button that helps you to test the LDAP settings to ensure they work as intended.
-  * The tests that will be done will be matching the **LDAP Authentication Process** described earlier on this page.
