GridGuard User Store & User Info Store Setup

Provides instructions on how to setup a GridGuard user store and a GridGuard user info store.

The user store is store against which lookups are performed to determine if the user is a registered user of the system; the user info store is used to store the PIN, corner and GridPic associated with the user. Typically these user credentials are stored on the GridGuard server in the same LDAP OU.

The GridGuard server, by default, comes with a user store (DefaultRealm-2Form-UserStore) and a user info store (DefaultRealm-2Form-UserInfoStore) pre-configured. If you are using the pre-configured stores, you can skip the steps below completely.

Follow the steps below, only if you want to use a separate LDAP OU to store the user credentials for this integration.
