Fortiswitch Authentication Using LDAP

I have a FortiGate and a bunch of FortiSwitches that are being locally managed. I want to set up admin authentication using LDAP. I successfully configured this on the FortiGate but I can't get it to work on a FortiSwitch. Is this something that is just not possible? The switches are not linked with the firewall.

Judging based on the latest Standalone FortiSwitch documentation, it looks like only RADIUS/TACACS+ are supported, not LDAP.
