# Background and reference information

This began as a straight port from 7.x-2.x to 8.x-2.x but after discussions with @larowlan and @chx in contrib office hours it became clear that we should refocus on doing this in a more Drupal 8 fashion. For ldap_servers we will try and follow the search_api pattern for implementing servers as ConfigEntities rather than ContentEntities. And rework ldap_authentication as UserAuth instead of modifying the form as D7 does.
