Thanks, Sebastiaan. I followed your link, unfortunately, I am not able to make much progress yet. I even tried to configure flowable-idm to work with Active directory following the link [Integration with Microsoft Active Directory](https://forum.flowable.org/t/integration-with-microsoft-active-directory/492). It appears I was directed to AD for authentication, but I could not get it working. At least, I know the LDAP configuration does make some difference to flowable-idm app, but it does nothing to flowable-rest. b

Thanks, Joey
