LDAP Configuration

> Administration > Account Management > LDAP Configuration

If the enterprise has an LDAP server, the platform can be configured to automatically recognize selected users when they log in.

Considerations and Limitations

• Active Directory is currently supported. Open LDAP is under development.
• A single LDAP server is supported, currently.
• The search for a matching user ____. It cannot span multiple ___s, as yet--so a CN entry must be included either in the search DN or the filter.
• The user's Team cannot currently be configured using LDAP attributes. The default team is always used.

Working with LDAP

Configuring LDAP

1. Examine the configuration settings below to see which individual-user attributes can be populated from LDAP.
2. If desired, create attributes for those settings in your LDAP server. (If all users will have the same settings, it's necessary. The'll use the default settings you configure below.)
3. Go to > Administration > Account Management > LDAP Configuration
4. Fill in the configuration settings
5. Click [Save]

Tip: To get record IDs, use the following procedure: Navigate to the object in question (Access Profiles, Applications, or Roles) > Objects > {object} Edit the default view or create a new view for your use. Modify the view to include the Record ID field. View the entries in that object Take the record ID from the column you added to the view.
