This topic needs further documentation to make it awesome. If you have experience with this transformation step, we encourage you to update this topic. More information can be found in JIRA case DOC-2115.

Limitation documented in PDI-17823: If you have a transformation with multiple LDAT Input or LDAP Output steps (talking to two different LDAP servers with different configurations) or simultaneous transformations with differently configured LDAP steps, one transformation's configuration will step all over the other transformation's configuration.
