Step 1: Create Connection to the LDAP Directory

  1. Go to Administration Console > Search > Security Sources.
  2. Click Add security source.
  3. Enter the name of your LDAP security source and select the Active directory type.

    • username
    • password
    • base (that is, OU=people,DC=example,DC=com)
  5. Test your configuration in Test user configuration.
  6. Keep the displayed User id. It serves to configure the user at step 2.

  1. Go to Administration Console > [user logged in] > Users.
  2. In the Users section, select a security source.
  3. Click Add user.
  4. Enter the user login as displayed previously when testing your security source.

    For example, CN=John Doe,OU=people,DC=example,DC=com.

  5. Select the Administrator role and click Accept.

    To apply this access right to a group of users, add a security token corresponding to the tokens displayed when testing user configuration.
