LDAP Configuration
The LDAP Configuration page can be reached by User with the System Manager Role via the LDAP Configuration section in the System tab.
If your organisation manages users through an LDAP
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol server it is possible to configure 1Data Gateway to use the active directory to create user accounts.
Note: If an LDAP server is used to connect users, it is still possible to add additional users manually on the Users tab or in bulk via User Import.
Once you have logged on, access the System tab from the side navigation panel and select LDAP configuration.
