Zones are also used to record the primary source of person and group information. They
can be held within SkyVault Content Services or some
external source. While authorities can be in many zones, it makes sense for an authority to be
in only one authentication-related zone.
- AUTH.ALF is for authorities defined within SkyVault Content Services and not synchronized from an external source. This is the default zone for authentication.
- AUTH.EXT.<ID> is for authorities defined externally, such as in LDAP.
