My point was that LDAP is a subset of user-management. Isn't it so?

Hi Senaka,
embedded-ldap.xml contains configurations related to a LDAP server. In
other words LDAP is a user store, a repository to keep user
information (like h2, mysql or like any other external LDAP server).
user-mgt.xml contains configurations on how you can connect to a user
store and manage data in it. So i dont see LDAP as a subset of
user-mgt (In carbon perspective).

Thanks
