User LDAP Authentication

WarningIf LDAP authentication is set, users cannot log in with their CAE LearningSpace email and password and cannot modify them either.
Info

(lightbulb)In case your directory server is down, users authenticated by LDAP will be unable to log in with their email and password from the directory server.
    For a temporary solution, LDAP authentication can be disabled for each user in their Edit User window and login details can be entered manually in CAE LearningSpace.
  1. Open a user for editing (authentication settings need to be managed one user at a time).
  2. Check the box at Authenticate by LDAP server in the Accounts tab.
    Accounts is displayed by default when a user is opened for editing
    .
  3. Enter the server-side user ID in the LDAP ID field.
