Configuring LDAP Authentication
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is a protocol for accessing and maintaining distributed directory information services over a network. Streamline can import data related to user accounts and user roles (groups) from an LDAP directory server. The Manage Users and Manager Roles tabs lists users and user roles imported from LDAP directory servers alongside user accounts and user roles created in Streamline. You cannot alter the properties of imported user accounts and user roles.
Streamline configuration settings related to LDAP belong to the following categories, represented by tabs on the Users configuration panel:
•LDAP Configuration — Properties related to establishing connectivity with an LDAP directory server.
•LDAP User Configuration — Mappings to enable Streamline to import user accounts from the LDAP directory server.
•LDAP Role Configuration — Mappings to enable Streamline to import user roles (groups) from the LDAP directory server.
