LDAP Integration Guide

LDAP (Light Weight Directory Access Protocol) is an application protocol for accessing and maintaining distributed directory information services from LDAP server over an Internet Protocol (IP) network. The LDAP directory services provide an organized set of records, often with a hierarchical structure such as a corporate email directory. 

Adeptia Suite uses its own database to store user and group information. When you access Adeptia Suite, the username and password get authenticated from the Adeptia Suite database. You can also configure Adeptia Suite to use an LDAP Server for authentication. For this, you need to configure LDAP Server properties in Adeptia Suite to allow LDAP users to access Adeptia Suite. When an LDAP user access Adeptia Suite, the username and password gets authenticated from the LDAP Server.

This guide is intended for administrators to integrate Adeptia Suite with LDAP server.

Following is the list of prerequisites before you configure LDAP in Adeptia Suite:

• Installed LDAP Server.
• Administrative rights in Adeptia Suite to enable LDAP authentication and authorization.
• Adeptia Suite is certified with Windows Active Directory and Open LDAP server.
