Creating LDAP roles - HxGN EAM - 12.0.1 - Help - Hexagon

Lightweight Directory Access Protocols (LDAP) can store hierarchical data definitions across platforms. LDAP is most often used to store user credentials across many applications. Create LDAP roles for automatic user creation.

If LDAP authentication is enabled, Call Center module log ins are authenticated by HxGN EAM and LDAP settings are ignored.
