Which accounts are required for the installation of the LDAP agent?

The installation of the LDAP agent requires both a local and a designated LDAP user account to ensure proper functionality and secure communication with the LDAP directory.

The local account is necessary for the agent to operate on the server where it is installed, providing the necessary permissions to access system resources and manage the agent's operations. Meanwhile, the designated LDAP user account is crucial because it allows the agent to authenticate against the LDAP directory itself. This user account needs to have sufficient privileges to read user data and, in some cases, write necessary information back to the directory to maintain synchronization.

Having both account types is essential for the LDAP agent to fulfill its role effectively. The local account handles the application-level security and operation, while the designated LDAP user ensures that the agent can interact with the directory securely and reliably.
