+    LDAP authentication can be configured using the &lt;simple-ldap-auth-manager&gt; element
+    within the &lt;security&gt; section. An example of how to configure this is shown below.
+    Please note this example also configures an unused &lt;pd-auth-manager&gt; to use an empty
+    password file, this is a workaround for an issue relating to registration of security providers.
