Introduction

English
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.

Info
titleTips

If you set the "User Base DN" to your LDAP Root DN, it means that the search will start from the Root DN until it finds all the results that matched the search filter.

So, setting the "User Base DN" precisely is very important as it will decide where the search is starting from. It will save all the unnecessary search between the Root DN to your "User Base DN".

Code Block
titleRoot DN
DC=joget,DC=org
Code Block
titleUnder the Root DN, you have the following DN:
DC=HR,DC=joget,DC=org
DC=Product Department,DC=joget,DC=org
DC=Operation,DC=joget,DC=org
DC=Users,DC=joget,DC=org

If your users are all under "DC=Users,DC=joget,DC=org", you should set this to "User Base DN".

By doing this, it will not go through all the other entries and it's child entries before reaching "DC=Users,DC=joget,DC=org".

(objectClass=person)

Info
titleTips
Code Block
titleValue
(&(objectClass=person)(|(cn=admin)(cn=cat)(cn=jack)(cn=john)(cn=jackie)))

This mean all the LDAP entries which have "objectClass" attribute equals to "person" and "cn" attribute equals to either "admin", "cat", "jack", "john" or "jackie" are Joget users.

So, when a login is performed by "admin", the search filter will add additional filter and become "(&(&(objectClass=person)(|(cn=admin)(cn=cat)(cn=jack)(cn=john)(cn=jackie)))(cn=admin))". 

You will notice an extra (cn=admin) is added to the search filter to make sure it return only the "admin" user.

Info
titleUser License

User license determines on how many eventual users (sorted alphabetically) from your LDAP/AD can log in into the system. You can make use of this attribute to control amount of users returned from your LDAP.

Please refer to other LDAP Search Filter syntax.
