Configure a new LDAP server

To configure a new LDAP server, follow these steps:

  1. In CMS UI, click the Menu icon () to expand the CMS Modules pane, and then click LDAP Manager.
  2. Click the button to display the Add LDAP Sever pane.
  3. Enter the values for all the settings.
  4. Click the Save button.

Note  

  • If you have an exported file containing the LDAP server configuration saved on your computer, you can choose to import the LDAP server values, which are automatically entered in the right fields. For more information, see Export or import an LDAP Server configuration

  • You can also configure LDAP authentication settings using the JMX console. For details, see "How to Define LDAP Servers and Enable LDAP Authentication Method" in the Hardening section of the UCMDB Help.
  • For an example of LDAP authentication settings, see LDAP Authentication Settings - Example.

  • Every LDAP user has a first name, last name, and email address saved in the local repository. If the value of any of these parameters that is stored on the LDAP server differs from the value in the local repository, the LDAP server values will overwrite the local values at each login.

  • The value of the userUID setting must be unique across all LDAP servers.

  • You can specify the order in which the LDAP servers are presented in the drop-down list of available LDAP servers by entering a value in the Priority field. If two or more LDAP Servers have the same priority, the order in which they are presented is alphabetical.

  • If you want to view the group information of LDAP users, enable the Display Users Group toggle button.
