- Go to Settings Tab → Admin Settings -> Authentication
- Select "LDAP" under "Authentication Options"
- Move the LDAP Enable selector to the "ON" position.
- Fill in the hostname or ip address, authentication port, LDAP Security, Auth DN, and Fetch DN.
- Optionally, enter the LDAP Username and Password in order to allow ProVision to import LDAP Contacts and sync LDAP contact information (see: Contact Manager)
- Click "Test Server" to verify the connection.
...
- LDAP Enable: check the box to enable LDAP functionality.
- LDAP Server Address: Set the IP address of your LDAP server.
- LDAP Port: Set the port for your LDAP server
- LDAP Security: Select the security method of your LDAP server - SSL, TLS or None
- Test Server: Click to test the connection to the LDAP server.
- LDAP Auth DN/Fetch DN: These strings are used to first authentication the 6connect ProVision user and then to retrieve their permissions. The string '%LOGIN%' should be inserted in place of the user's common name both strings. (ex: cn=%LOGIN%,ou=people,dc=6connect,dc=com)
- LDAP Group Attribute: If using an internal list of user groups instead of 6connect ProVision groups, enter the attribute name for the LDAP groups here. If a Group Attribute is set, it will be used first, otherwise the 6connect ProVision schema will be used.
- LDAP Username / LDAP Password: Optionally, you may enter LDAP admin credentials to allow ProVision to import and sync LDAP contacts. See Contact Manager for details on LDAP contacts.
- Mapping Permissions to 6connect ProVision schema: To integrate 6connect ProVision permissions with your existing directory structure then you will need the 6connect ProVision schema. It should snap in with any existing LDAP structure and allow you to assign 6connect ProVision permissions to your existing users. You can download a copy of the schema from this section.
