Follow the steps below to setup Celoxis to use LDAP authentication :
- From main menu, click Settings > Site.
- Click Edit Site Settings
- In the new pop-up, go to the LDAP tab.
- 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.
- Click Save.
- 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.
- Clients accounts are not verified against LDAP.
If you get any error message while setting up LDAP for Celoxis, please send us the debug bundle.
