Don`t follow referrals
If your LDAP server is configured to refer to other hosts (for load balancing), do not enable this option. This can be a security risk.

Group Mapping is a system to simply map LDAP based groups to Joomla!'s group system. This information is used by the autocreate system to map users, otherwise all autocreated users are created as registered.
