Searching for an LDAP User or Group Parent topic

When specifying the route for a policy, instead of entering an individual email address or address group, you can also perform a search for a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) user or group.
Review the system requirement for the types of LDAP servers that IMSS supports.
