LDAP settings

In the LDAP synchronization module, you can implement settings for connecting to and importing data from LDAP.

You can access the LDAP synchronization module using the Configuration button in the octoplant hub user interface.

Figure: LDAP settings module

  • Server address: Name, IP address or domain of the LDAP server.
  • Port: Port of the LDAP server.
  • SSL encrypted: Activates/deactivates the encrypted connection to the LDAP server.
  • Username: User name 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 to search for users (and other groups) to be imported.
  • Filter for DN (All Users): Here you can set a filter for the DN. You can find more details here: https://ldap.com/the-ldap-search-operation/. The pre-entered default value is (objectClass=*).
  • DN (Administrators): Distinguished Name (= DN) of the LDAP group whose users are to be imported into the octoplant group administrators.
  • Filter for DN (administrators): Here you can set a filter for the DN. You can find more information on this at here: https://ldap.com/the-ldap-search-operation/.

Attribute assignment

The user attributes from LDAP can be entered here:

  • Username
  • E-mail address
  • First name
  • Surname

Info

First name and surname are not used individually in the AdminClient but as the Full name. Therefore, the two attributes cannot be imported automatically from the octoplant server.

If you select the Import configuration from octoplant server button, the LDAP configuration settings of the octoplant server selected by you will be adopted.

Importing users/groups from LDAP

Users and groups can be imported from the LDAP either automatically or manually:

  • Users/groups can be imported automatically every night at a specific time using the Enable daily auto import checkbox.
  • You can import users/groups manually from the LDAP using the Execute manual import button.

You can use the Enable LDAP authentication checkbox to specify whether the users from the LDAP can login to the octoplant hub with their user data stored there. If the checkbox is unchecked, the user data can still be imported, but the users cannot log in to the octoplant hub with this login data.
