Setting up LDAP
Warning
The LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) settings should only be edited by users who already have a fundamental understanding of the requirements required to set up the SSO function.
Warning
It is strongly recommended to set at least one account to Allow LDAP Bypass while configuring LDAP to prevent the risk of being locked out of your account. This can be done via the IDM tab once LDAP has been enabled.
Warning
The user must be a System Administrator to perform the following steps.
Note
Only available to on-premise customers
The CONNECT/GUEST service combined with the LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) service allows users/customers who are already using LDAP to initiate a connection from their portals into the application, and seamlessly allow the user base to connect without being challenged for username or password credentials.
The user/customer has the flexibility of choosing whether the use of LDAP login is enforced.
If LDAP is enforced then access can only be granted to the system if the user has been validated by the system. If this is not set to enforced, a Mixed Mode is enabled. Which gives the user the ability to use the system with a separate password directly to the application, or the convenience of LDAP from the customers portal.
