 ## ARM Support
 
 - It required patches, @adivyoseph (on [#scope](https://weave-community.slack.com/messages/scope/)) had done some work on this.
 - [#2110](https://github.com/weaveworks/scope/issues/2110) says that scope's CI builds ARM32 (but not ARM64) for test-builds at least.
 - @errordeveloper says: It should be easy to add arm64 in CI, You can try and enable builds in ci on a branch.. In theory, you just need to build for `GOARCH=arm64`.
 
+## LDAP Support

+Scope doesn't support LDAP right now.

 ## Data Storage
 
 OSS Scope reports aren't persistent and the probe keeps the last 15 seconds of metrics in memory.
