General
You can connect Famedly with an existing LDAP or Active Directory. After successful login, Famedly will create a user account and link it to the LDAP account.
How does it work?
When you connect an LDAP server to Famedly, the login process works as follows:
- Famedly attempts to establish a connection to the LDAP server according to the configuration.
- If the connection fails, the next server from the configuration is automatically used (if multiple servers have been configured).
- Famedly attempts a binding with the BindDN and BindPassword to check if proceeding is possible.
- Famedly performs a SearchQuery to find the UserDN using the provided configuration of base, filters, and object classes.
- Famedly attempts a binding with the provided login name and password.
- LDAP attributes are mapped to Famedly attributes according to the configuration, and a user account is created.
Requirements
For a login to work, the following requirements must be met:
- Accessibility via Internet and TLS
- Service account for Famedly with appropriate permissions
