Version 4.0.24.16
Update the LDAP configuration.
Configuring LDAP impacts authentication for all users. This configuration should be done carefully.
Only Looker administrators can read and update the LDAP configuration.
LDAP is enabled or disabled for Looker using the enabled field.
It is highly recommended that any LDAP setting changes be tested using the APIs below before being set globally.
See the Looker LDAP docs for additional information.
Calls to this endpoint may be denied by Looker (Google Cloud core).
