Manage LDAP server connections

To use data from outside the appliance in the policies, define the server connection to access the data. Obtain the connection information for the existing database server we want to define for our policy information point. We can create server connections to data sources, such as Oracle, DB2 , PostgreSQL, LDAP, SMTP, Web Service, Cloud Identity, and Verify Access Runtime. We can have multiple servers for an LDAP connection.
