Jive Forum supports LDAP authentication methods. It has two basic modes. One is Mixed LDAP mode, that is, the user information related to authentication is stored in the LDAP database, and the user's other information is still stored in the relational database; the other is Pure LDAP mode, that is, all user information is stored in LDAP, but it is more cumbersome in deployment implementation and needs to extend the SCHEMA of the LDAP database.
