Creating LDAP connections

Before you begin

Ensure that you perform the following.

LDAP is enabled. You can enable LDAP by turning on the LDAP active slider.
Multiple LDAP integrations are enabled, if you want to specify more than one LDAP server.
LDAP server details.
Note: When you configure and enable the LDAP server, the Developer Portal does not allow users to sign up with a username if that username exists in the LDAP server. If local user exists with the same username, the local user is converted to an LDAP user.
API Administrator privilege.

This use case starts when you want to provide the LDAP server details and ends when you successfully create a connection.

Expand the menu options and click Administration.
Select LDAP and click Create LDAP.
In the ID field, provide a unique ID for the LDAP connection.
Provide the Server Name, URL, Username, and Password of the LDAP server.

Note: If the server you provided here has LDAPS, then you must import the truststore even if it does not enable any other security check.
In the Simultaneous connections field, provide the maximum number of simultaneous connections to the same LDAP server.
Provide the Connection timeout and Read timeout values in milliseconds.
The LDAP connection appears in the Connections tab.
Click the verify icon next to the LDAP connection to verify whether Developer Portal is able to connect successfully with the LDAP server.
You can import users and user groups from the LDAP connection.
