Configure AD/LDAP

IT Analytics supports user authentication and optionally supports authorization using Active Directory (AD) or Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). Configuration of AD/LDAP authentication and authorization is driven through the configuration in Admin > Authentication > LDAP.

This section covers the configuration steps for the following scenarios:

  • AD/LDAP configuration for authentication - describes the procedure to configure AD/LDAP for user authentication only.

  • AD/LDAP Configuration for authentication and authorization - describes the procedure to configure AD/LDAP for user authentication and authorization.

  • Migrate portal users when AD/LDAP authentication is configured - describes the configuration required to authenticate using AD/LDAP for users previously using database for authentication.

  • Migrate portal users with LDAP authentication and authorization configured - describes the configuration required for authentication and authorization using AD/LDAP for users previously using database for authentication.
