Explanation

Authentication Protocol

LDAP: Requires LDAP section to also be filled in, this will allow connection to Active Directory for Exchange environments.

ResourceXpress: This will utilise the ResourceXpress user database available from the User Management tab.

Resource Profile Settings: This will use the authentication details from the 3rd party booking system, relevant for Asure/EMS, this will be dependant on the connection properties found in each profile.

Asure/EMS: This will use the user database provided by Asure or EMS, requires the relevant section to be filled in to allow connection to these services. This is similar to the above but is a global option.
