AD / LDAP Provisioning

LDAP, the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, is a mature, flexible, and well supported standards-based mechanism for interacting with directory servers. The HostBill module allows to sell any AD/LDAP-Authenticated service and charge for number of active users in AD/LDAP Group. An AD/LDAP Group can be later used by a client for various purposes, for example to authenticate Remote Desktop service. 

1. If the module is included in your HostBill edition you can download it from your client portal.

2. If the module is not included in your HostBill edition you can purchase it from our marketplace and then download it from the client area.
