    If you are trying to use your LDAP system for authentication then you are on the right track. Appian utilizes Sprint Security as its authentication framework and the documentation you were looking at has an example of configuring Spring Security to allow users to login with their LDAP credentials.

    If you are trying to sync users in Appian with those in your LDAP system I would suggest taking a look at the "LDAP User Profile Sync with Usernames" smart service plugin in the Shared Components.
