Configuring LDAP Authentication

Introduction

This section uses the OneAccess user portal as an example to describe how to configure the LDAP authentication function. After configuring the LDAP authentication provider in OneAccess, you can refer to this section to configure LDAP authentication for logging in to each application system.

Prerequisites

• You have permissions to access the administrator portal.
• You have configured the LDAP authentication provider in OneAccess by referring to Configuring an LDAP Authentication Provider.

Enabling LDAP Authentication

1. Log in to the administrator portal.
2. On the top navigation bar, choose Resources > Applications.
3. Click User Portal on the page.
4. On the application information page, click the application icon.
5. Choose Login Settings > Web Applications, click in the Operation column of LDAP to enable LDAP authentication, and select the authentication provider added in Adding an LDAP Authentication Provider.
   

   When LDAP authentication is enabled, the password login mode text box is used. You need to click in the Operation column of Password to disable the database authentication mode. If AD authentication is enabled, click in the Operation column of AD to disable AD authentication.

Logging In to the User Portal Through LDAP Authentication

1. Go to the user portal login page, select LDAP, enter an LDAP account and password, and click Login.

2. After login, go to the administrator portal, choose Users > Organizations and Users, and view the automatically created user.
   

   • To automatically create a user if the authorized user is not associated with any system user, set No User Associated to Automatically create users. For details, see Table 2.
   • By default, users automatically created in the preceding scenario belong to the first root organization in the administrator portal.
