+Enabled Emulation
+-----------------
+
+Some directory servers do not provide any enabled attribute. For these
+servers, the ``user_enabled_emulation`` and ``tenant_enabled_emulation``
+attributes have been created. They are enabled by setting their respective
+flags to True. Then the attributes ``user_enabled_emulation_dn`` and
+``tenant_enabled_emulation_dn`` may be set to specify how the enabled users
+and projects (tenants) are selected.  These attributes work by using a
+``groupOfNames`` and adding whichever users or projects (tenants) that
+you want enabled to the respective group. For example, this will
+mark any user who is a member of ``enabled_users`` as enabled::
+
+  [ldap]
+  user_enabled_emulation = True
+  user_enabled_emulation_dn = cn=enabled_users,cn=groups,dc=openstack,dc=org
+
+The default values for user and project (tenant) enabled emulation DN is
+``cn=enabled_users,$user_tree_dn`` and ``cn=enabled_tenants,$tenant_tree_dn``
+respectively.

 Keystone to the directory server.  In addition to supporting ldaps,  Keystone
