General information

LDAP catalogs allow you to centralize the user management. Axxon One supports three operation scripts with LDAP:

  • Manual registration of LDAP users: allows granting selectively the access to the LDAP catalog. The administrator manually creates the Axxon One user and links it with the LDAP account.
  • Synchronization of LDAP users: allows adding users in bulk. The system loads users from the selected LDAP branch and automatically adds them to the selected Axxon One role.
  • Automatic registration of LDAP users: allows any LDAP user to log in to Axxon One under one or multiple predetermined roles. After the system successfully checks the password, the user is automatically added to the configuration and gets the role specified in the Role for automatic registration of user field.

Configuring LDAP

To configure the LDAP catalog, do the following:

  1. In the LDAP catalogs group, click the Create... button.


    The LDAP 1 object is added in the system. On the right, the panel with connection settings to the LDAP 1 catalog is displayed.
  2. In the Name field, enter the name of the catalog.

  3. In the Server name or IP address field, enter the address of the LDAP catalog server.
  4. In the Port field, enter the connection port of the LDAP catalog server.

  5. In the Base DN field, enter the Distinguished Name of the branch from which the data search starts.

    Attention!

    • If LDAP users are located in multiple directories with the hierarchical structure, you cannot synchronize all users at the same time.
    • To synchronize each user group in the DN branch, you must specify the path to the corresponding directory.
      For example, LDAP contains the Employees directory and the Managers, Cashiers and Salesmen subdirectories:
      • DN branches for synchronizing users within the Managers directory: ou=Managers,ou=Employees,dc=example,dc=com.
      • DN branches for synchronizing users within the Cashiers directory: ou=Cashiers,ou=Employees,dc=example,dc=com.
      • DN branches for synchronizing users within the Salesmen directory: ou=Salesmen,ou=Employees,dc=example,dc=com.
  6. In the User field, enter the name of the user who has the read access from the base DN, in LDAP (RDN + DN) format.
  7. In the Password field, enter the user password.
  8. Set the Use secure connection (SSL) checkbox if you want to use a secure connection (SSL) when you connect to the LDAP catalog.

  9. In the Search filter field, enter the filtering string of entries in the catalog.

    Attention!

    To upload users by groups, not by catalogs, you must use the memberof attribute in the filter. For example:

    (&(objectClass=user)(memberof=CN=YourGroup,OU=Users,DC=YourDomain,DC=com))

  10. In the Username attribute field, enter the attribute from which the username is obtained. To search for users via the sAMAccountName attribute, you must enter the attribute in lowercase letters—samaccountname.

  11. In the DN attribute field, enter the attribute from which the user's DN is obtained. You can use Microsoft Active Directory and OpenLDAP LDAP templates in the LDAP templates parameter to specify the username and DN attribute.

  12. In the Role for automatic registration of user field, enter the role to which new users of the LDAP catalog are automatically added when they log in to Axxon One. If you don't specify a role, the automatic user creation for this catalog is disabled.
  13. Click the Apply button.

As a result, the LDAP catalog is added to the system.

To test the connection, click the Test connection button. If the connection is successful, the form below is filled by the data of catalog users. 

Otherwise, an error message appears.

Copying the LDAP catalog

To copy a catalog with all settings, do the following:

  1. Click the name of the catalog that you want to copy.
  2. Click the Create... button.

As a result, the new catalog with identical settings is created. The default name of the new catalog is LDAP 1, LDAP 2, and so on, depending on the number of previously created catalogs.

Removing the LDAP catalog

To remove a catalog, do the following:

  1. Click the name of the catalog that you want to remove.
  2. Click the Remove button.

As a result, the selected catalog is removed.
