LDAP synchronization settings
In the LDAP synchronization view, you can enter the settings required for connecting to and importing data from LDAP.
You can access the LDAP synchronization view by clicking on the Configurationbutton, located at the bottom of the octoplant hubnavigation bar.
– Server address: Name, IP address or domain of the LDAP server.
- Port: Port of the LDAP server.
- SSL encrypted: Checkbox that enables and disables the encrypted connection to the LDAP server.
- Username: Username for accessing the LDAP server.
- Domain: Domain name or user attribute from LDAP.
- DC: DNS name of the domain
- DN (All users): Distinguished Name (= DN) of the LDAP group within which the search for users (and other groups) that are to be imported will be carried out.
- Filter for DN (All users): Here you can set a filter for the DN. For more information, see: https://ldap.com/the-ldap-search-operation/. The default value entered is (objectClass=*).
- DN (Administrators): Distinguished Name (DN) of the LDAP group whose users are to be imported into the octoplant administrators group.
- Filter for DN (Administrators) : Here you can set a filter for the DN. For more information, see: https://ldap.com/the-ldap-search-operation/.
Attribute assignment
User attributes from LDAP can be entered here:
- Username: Attribute from LDAP that can be used as the username
- Email address: Attribute from LDAP that can be used as email address
- First name: Attribute from LDAP that can be used as first name
- Surname: Attribute from LDAP that can be used as surname
Note
First name and last name are not separated in AdminClient. Instead, the Full name of the user is displayed. For
this reason, the two attributes cannot be imported automatically from the octoplant server.
If you click on the Import configuration from octoplant server button, your LDAP configuration settings for the octoplant server will be imported.
Import users/groups from LDAP
Importing users and groups from LDAP can be done both automatically and manually:
- By checking the Enable daily auto import checkbox, users and groups can be imported automatically every night at a specified time.
- By clicking on the Execute manual importbutton, you can manually import users and groups from LDAP as needed.
You can check the Enable LDAP authentication checkbox to specify whether users can log in to the octoplant hub from LDAP using their user data stored there. If the checkbox has been cleared, the user data can still be imported, but the users will not be able to log in to the octoplant hub with these credentials.
