LDAP Configuration

If your organisation manages users through an LDAP server it is possible to configure 1Data Gateway to use the active directory to create user accounts.

Note: If and LDAP server is used to connect users, it is still possible to add additional users that are outside of the directory. For this, follow information on the User Management page.

To configure LDAP in 1Data Gateway, you must be logged on as an Administrator.

Once you have logged on, access the System window from the side navigation panel and select LDAP configuration.

Server Settings

The following information is required to connect to your chosen LDAP server:

User	The username for the LDAP server
Password	The password for the LDAP server

Once you have entered the details you can Test Connection to ensure you have entered the correct information and then Save.
