text: **4.4.3 Remote authentication**
  
  A*remote user*is authenticated by using identity information that is accessible by way of 
  Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). The LDAP server must be available for the 
  users to log in to the system. Remote users have their groups defined by the remote 
  authentication service.
