How can I set up a user for LDAP Authentication?

Set up LDAP authentication for users once a directory server is configured for user authentication.

LDAP authentication can be switched on for one user at a time or for a group of selected users:

Switch On LDAP for a User

1. Open a user for editing. 
2. Check Authenticate by LDAP server in the Account tab.
   
   
   
   

Switch on LDAP for Multiple Users

1. Select users from the Users panel on the right.
   

   Click on the All users option on the left to display every user registered in your system or select a group to filter users. 

   Use the select-all checkbox in the Users panel to select every user in one go. 

2. Click Open on the right.
   
   
   
   The 'Edit Multiple User' pop-up will open where you can manage the settings of your selected users all at once.
   
   
3. At 'Reset authentication method to:' open the drop-down.
4. Select 'LDAP server authentication':

Switch On LDAP for a User Group

LDAP sync can be enabled for complete User groups under LDAP Settings, on the LDAP tab of the Edit Group pop-up:

2. If you set up a full DN sequence for authentication:
   1. Provide the user's LDAP ID stored on your directory server in the corresponding field if the Authentication ID has been set to 'LDAP ID' in the Directory Access Settings tab. 
      
      
      
   2. Provide the user's UCID stored on your directory server in the corresponding field if the Authentication ID has been set to 'UCID' in the Directory Access Settings tab. 
      
      
      
      
3. Provide the user's samAccountName if you set up the Resolve samAccountName method for authentication:
