LDAP Configuration

The LDAP Configuration page can be reached by an Administrator via the LDAP Configuration section in the System tab.

If your organisation manages users through an LDAPClosed 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.

To configure LDAP in 1Data Gateway, you must be logged on as a Site AdministratorClosed The site administrator role has access to all administrative capabilities..
