LDAP Server is Microsoft
Active Directory

local network, you can open ETV Portal Server without re-
entering your login credentials. See below Use LDAP with
Single Sign-On

Use Independent Group
Entries

If unchecked (the default), the user's group memberships are
stored as attributes of the user's directory entry identified by

LDAP models where group entries are independent of user
entries. If checked, the Independent Group ObjectClass and
Independent Group Identifier fields are required.
