    • LDAP: LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) authentication for verifying user logins using an external directory service.
    • Host folder privileges: Trading Partner Connections (Hosts) are only viewable and/or editable by role-based account settings allowing security across multiple business units.
