            LDAP back end supports id, auth, access and chpass providers. If you want
            to authenticate against an LDAP server either TLS/SSL or LDAPS
            is required. <command>sssd</command> <emphasis>does
            not</emphasis> support authentication over an unencrypted channel.
            If the LDAP server is used only as an identity provider, an encrypted
            channel is not needed. Please refer to <quote>ldap_access_filter</quote>

                            LDAP server to make this work. Multiple values are

                    <listitem>
                        <para>
                            Specifies the Schema Type in use on the target LDAP
                            server.
                            Depending on the selected schema, the default
                            attribute names retrieved from the servers may vary.
                            The way that some attributes are handled may also differ.

                            Three schema types are currently supported:
                            rfc2307
                            rfc2307bis
                            IPA

                            The main difference between these schema types is
                            how group memberships are recorded in the server.
                            With rfc2307, group members are listed by name in the
                            <emphasis>memberUid</emphasis> attribute.
                            With rfc2307bis and IPA, group members are listed by DN
                            and stored in the <emphasis>member</emphasis> attribute.
                        </para>
