You can use an LDAP server to retrieve user data.
For information about enabling an LDAP server, see “Enabling
an LDAP server” After LDAP is enabled and the LDAP settings are configured,
an LDAP button is shown in the Add User view of the
Users menu.
If you click this button, the user information is fetched from your
LDAP server.
Note: The LDAP feature does not support automatic updates.
If
you enabled the LDAP feature, you can view these LDAP settings:
- LDAP URL: The address of the LDAP server
- LDAP Base: The start point for LDAP queries
- Full Name: The attributes that are copied
to the title attribute for the user
- Description: The attributes that are copied
to the description attribute for the user
- User Name: The attribute that corresponds
to the corporate ID
- E-mail: The attribute that corresponds
to the email address of the user and that is copied to the Email attribute
In the
Query ID field, you can enter a
corporate ID and test the LDAP settings.
LDAP Verification checks
all the users in the database and lists the users who are registered
but are not found in the LDAP directory.
Note: LDAP verification
is available only if it is enabled by using SQL commands.
