LDAP is a User Directory. You only have to maintain one list of users and use these users on multiple Applications to login. For example i have an email server, a cloud storage and emby. Once i create a user in the LDAP, this user can login with the same password, in the Email Account, in the CloudStorage and now into Emby as well. There is no need to create this user in the Emby Settings again. Want to change the password for one user in all 3 Applications? Just goto your ldap server, and change the password once! (EDIT: this is careless simplified ) If you dont have an LDAP Server, dont worry about the feature. Then you dont need it. If you curious and have money to burn and you are into closed source software try to use the microsoft Active Directory. Should be the easiest start. If you curious and you dont have money to burn start with linux and an openLdap Server and a lot of time. If you have no clue its not easy to get into it.
