Hi Sorin
of course: you may omit the mail cocacho and realize only the
authentication cocacho in LDAP. For us, however, it has proven to be
most advantageous to have both on LDAP.
You may also select to do first the authentication in LDAP and later on,
if you are familiar with LDAP, realize the mail.
