Multi-domain Active Directory & OpenLDAP Support

Device42 can now be configured to work with multiple Active Directory (AD) servers. AD servers can be used for both Active Directory based logins, as well as AD synchronization.

AD settings can be found and configured in Tools > Settings > Active Directory Settings, but are only accessible to D42 super users. Multiple Active Directory settings and/or up to one OpenLDAP server setting can be configured at a time to properly describe your environment. Each Active Directory setting can also specify multiple domains.
