Available to users with Admin role. |
Set up LDAP authentication for users once a directory server is configured for user authentication.
LDAP authentication must be switched on for users in the User Manager module to allow them to log in with their directory server credentials to CAE LearningSpace Essentials. |
LDAP authentication can be switched on for one user at a time or for a group of selected users:
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. |
LDAP sync can be enabled for complete User groups under LDAP Settings, on the LDAP tab of the Edit Group pop-up:
Once LDAP Authentication is switched on for users, fill in the Authentication ID inside their profiles. LDAP Login Settings in the Directory Access Settings (old version) tab determine the required Authentication ID for users.
If the Authentication ID has been set to Email in the Directory Access Settings (old version), you do not have to add anything to the user's profile. |
While the email address is not needed in a user's CAELearningSpace Essentials when LDAP Authentication is switched on, this also means that users cannot log in with their CAE LearningSpace email and password or modify their credentials. |
If your directory server is down for some reason, withdraw LDAP authentication from users and allow them to log in with their CAE LearningSpace Essentials credentials as a temporary solution. |
