| Description |
|
In this solution for authentication, the mongo node would consult an LDAP directory to find credential information that it could use to authenticate the end user. This credential information might be the user's password, or some function of the password, depending on the supported authentication mechanisms. |

Closing in favor of LDAP proxy authentication. |
