Configure LDAP login in Directory Access Settings (old version) in System.

Contact your organization’s network administrator or IT professional for the exact details of your directory server.

  1. Once your connection is established with the directory server(s),  switch on the Use for login toggle to continue.  
  2. Select your preferred authentication mode:

    1. Use full DN: 
      To identify users on your directory server, specify the Authentication ID, DN Prefixes and DN Postfixes. 


      Find out more about the full DN authentication method in this section.

    2. Resolve samAccountName: Provide the name and password of your directory server's query user and the query base.



      It is important that the query user has permission to search in the affected LDAP tree.

      Find out more about the Resolve samAccountName method in this section.

  3. Click Test LDAP Login to check whether everything has been set up correctly.

    Every user who is a match for the request can log in to CAE LearningSpace Essentials with their credentials stored on the directory server.
