Root User
User authentication is based on configured domains. AppCenter supports both LDAP and LDAPS and multiple LDAP domains and LDAP groups. If you added an OpenLDAP configuration, it will still work with your instance of AppCenter after you add corporate LDAP.
If a user is part of a configured LDAP domain, they can log into AppCenter and are added as a user automatically at that time.
