How do I configure an LDAP site authentication policy?

Note: Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is an authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) protocol. An LDAP AAA server stores and manages public keys. When a user needs to SSH to an NE SR-OS via a public key infrastructure, the SR NE obtains the key from the LDAP AAA server and authenticates the user with that key. An SR NE can only have one policy of this type.
