The information on this page refers to License Statistics v6.14 and newer, which introduced schema settings and expanded LDAP support to include LDAP and LDAP with POSIX, as well as providing support for custom LDAP configuration. 

The LDAP page (Administration: LDAP, visible only for License Statistics administrator users) lets you optionally define schema settings for LDAP Users Import and LDAP Authentication. This functionality is intended for advanced users in order to configure mapping of fields between License Statistics and the LDAP directory instance. The schema settings are fully customizable, and are initially populated with entries according to the Directory Type selected when defining the configuration (Active Directory, LDAP, or LDAP with POSIX).
