> In the documentation for the Ldap user authentication located at
> http://cloudstack.apache.org/docs/en-US/Apache_CloudStack/4.2.0/html/Admin_Guide/LDAPserver-for-user-authentication.html
> ,it is specified on how to add the Ldap serevr to the CS but steps are not
> provided on how to authenticate the Ldap users from the CS.Please add the
> below steps in the document to make that clear.
> In the version 4.2 and 4.2.1 there is no way to directly import the Ldap
> users into the CS,hence we nee to manually create the Ldap users in the CS
> with the desired role which we want to give for that particular ldap user in
> the CS giving some random password. The Ldap user can then login to the CS
> using this password or else can login to the CS using the LDap password.
> When the user tries to login CS initially validates the password with the
> local db and if the password doesn't match it tries to validate with the ldap
> password for the same user and provides the authentication for the user.
