Follow the steps below to setup Celoxis to use LDAP authentication :

  1. From main menu, click Settings > Site.
  2. Click Edit Site Settings
  3. In the new pop-up, go to the LDAP tab. 
  4. Now, enter the LDAP details as follows:
      • Select the Enable LDAP? checkbox.
      • In the LDAP URL box, type your LDAP server name or IP address.
      • In the Base DN box, enter the root node of Active Directory from where Celoxis will search the users.
        e.g. cn=Users,dc=celoxis,dc=com 
        You can verify the path with the following command on Command Prompt (on your LDAP server). 
        dsquery user CN=Users,DC=celoxis,DC=com
      • In the Search Attribute box, enter uid or sAMAccountName (if you are using Microsoft Active Directory).
      • In Admin DN box, enter the administrator username.
      • In Admin Password box, enter the password.
  5. Click Save.
  6. Restart the application.
     
  • Even if you integrate with LDAP, you will need to create users in Celoxis with the same login name as the sAMAccountName. LDAP will be used only to verify password.
  • Client accounts are not verified against LDAP.
