## Overview

By default, EnGenius APs use LDAP to associate with Microsoft Entra ID, formerly **Azure Active Directory (Azure AD)**. This document outlines the steps to use Microsoft Entra ID Secure LDAP credentials to access your secure wireless network and shows the software architecture. 

Integrating EnGenius APs with Microsoft Entra ID secure LDAP authentication provides many benefits, including the easy synchronization of users from on-premises Active Directory (AD) to the Microsoft Entra ID LDAP Server, quick setup in the Microsoft Entra ID server, and increased reliability.
