Configuring an LDAP endpoint

To configure an LDAP directory as an endpoint, you must specify the LDAP URL, login name with credentials, the search base, and root suffix.

Before you begin

Ensure that you create an endpoint and specify the type as LDAP. See Configuring endpoints.

Procedure

On the LDAP endpoint configuration page, under LDAP URL, enter the Host name and Port of the LDAP directory that you want to access. The default LDAP port number is 389. If you use SSL, the default LDAP port number is 636.
For a secured connection, select SSL.
In the User Login and Password fields, enter the distinguished name and credentials for authentication to the service.

For example: cn=administrator,cn=users,dc=your_domain,dc=com
In the Include entries from the following container field, enter the search base in the LDAP directory that is polled for changes. Alternately, you can click Contexts and select from the LDAP Search Base list and then click OK. For example: dc=your_domain,dc=com
To verify the LDAP directory connection settings, click Test Connection. A green tick mark displayed next to the name of the endpoint indicates that the connection is successful. If the connection is successful, the attributes in the endpoint are displayed in a separate pane. You can use the Filter field to search the attributes.
After you configure the endpoint, to easily access the data in the directory, click Browse Data. You can use the LDAP browser to view the directory hierarchy and the types of users, groups, and containers. You can also add, modify, or delete entries in the directory.
Optional: You can also configure the following advanced parameters. Expand the Advanced section to view these parameters. Binary Attributes
Specify a list of attributes that must be interpreted as binary values instead of strings. When you enter the attribute names in this field, enter one attribute per line and do not use any separators.

Page Size
Specify the number of entries per page must be returned by the request. The default value is 500.

What to do next

After you configure the endpoint, you can create a flow to define the relationship between the endpoint and the target directory server.
