The LDAP Directory Manager allows you to integrate Joget with your existing AD/LDAP server. The enhanced LDAP Directory Manager implements all methods on the Joget Directory Manager class. In other words, it has been made possible to list and navigate through user, department and group entities in Joget itself.
Cautions And Warnings
Do not lock yourself out when you are configuring any Directory Manager plugin. Keep your browser session open and perform actual test in other machine/browser so that in case of any wrong configurations used, you can still continue to make amends.
User license determines how many eventual users (sorted alphabetically by username in ascending order) from your LDAP/AD who can login to the systemJoget. Make sure that you configure the plugin accordingly.
In case you have a misconfiguration and cannot login, you can make use of the credential set above ( Admin Username (Principal) & Admin Password (Credential) ) to login as the administrator.
The Debug Mode (option in last tab) is highly recommended to be turned on when configuring the LDAP plugin for the first time. When debug mode is on, you can find all the search queries performed by the directory manager. They will all be logged into the Joget log files. From there, you can observe the search filter string and improve the accuracy and performance of the lookup. You can remove the debug check box once everything is running well.
