LDAP used for authentication when running local applications
When running local applications LocalApps the system needs a way
to identify the user sitting at the thin client. It needs this to get information
about this user. Traditionally this was done using NIS, as explained in
the manual for LTSP. NIS is gradually being replaced by other network
user information systems like LDAP.
