HTTP and LDAP authentication

Teamwork supports integration with two authentication sources, on top of its native security: HTTP authentication and direct LDAP integration.

HTTP authentication allows also integrating indirectly with LDAP through the web container.

A web application can be integrated with LDAP in two ways:

(native integration) By natively contacting the LDAP server

(container integration) By configuring the web container to contact the LDAP server, and then relying on HTTP authentication

It has been possible to do container integration with Teamwork 3 for quite a while; since Teamwork 3.2.9 it is possible to get (native integration), which includes Microsoft Active Directory©. See section "LDAP/Active Directory" of the user guide.
