&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;Authentication in SWAP is handled using SASL at the beginning of a connection. This allows SWAP to support any number of different types of authentication from simple passwords to kerberos.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are two different aspects when connecting to SWAP, first is authentication, validating your password. Second is your authorization, what file groups and actions are you allowed to perform.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=LDAP Authentication=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
LDAP authentication will allow someone to use the username and password they have stored in an LDAP. It attempts to authenicate by binding to a dn within an LDAP. For example, at UMIACS, we have the following group setup that lists all authorized users. ar=swapgroup,ou=labs,dc=umiacs,dc=umd,dc=edu. When you try to connect as tom, your username and password is used to try to connect to uid=tom,ar=swapgroup,ou=labs,dc=umiacs,dc=umd,dc=edu&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the server properties file, you need to specify the following&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
auth.ldap.url=URL of your ldap server (ldaps://ldap.umiacs.umd.edu)&lt;br /&gt;
auth.ldap.basedn=base dn to bind to (ar=swapgroup,ou=labs,dc=umiacs,dc=umd,dc=edu)&lt;br /&gt;
auth.ldap.ignoressl=false (optional, set to true if your ldap has an untrusted ssl key)&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
