External Security
MarkLogic Server allows you to configure MarkLogic Server so that users are authenticated using an external authentication protocol, such as Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), Kerberos, or certificate. These external agents serve as centralized points of authentication or repositories for user information from which authorization decisions can be made.
Note
You can configure MarkLogic Server with multiple external security providers. A user needs to authenticate with only one of them to gain access.
This section describes how to configure MarkLogic Server for external authentication using LDAP and/or Kerberos.
