LDAP Directory

The source allows you to retrieve data from the LDAP directory.

LDAP Directory

1. Basic parameters​

  • ID – The data source identifier (if the value is smaller than "0", the source has not been saved in the database yet).
  • Name – Name of the data source entered by the user.

2. Parent source​

Each data source can contain subordinate sources which are related to a company within the system. If a parent source is referenced from a workflow instance which belongs to a specific company, and that company has a subordinate source associated with it, the query will reference this subordinate source instead. If a parent source has been defined for the source, you need to enter the name of the company for which it is defined.

3. Business entity​

A business entity to which the defined source belongs. If the source has a defined business entity, entering the superior source is required.

4. Data source type​

The type of the current data source. The field specifies the location from which data is retrieved.

5. Connection​

The drop-down list is used to define the authorization required to access the database.

6. Description​

Description of the data source defined by the user.

7. Search base​

It is set based on the Base DN in the selected LDAP Directory connection.

8. Scope​

Specifies the scope of a search. The available options are:

  • Subtree – search the base object (specified in the Search base field) and all child objects with their child objects.

  • One level – search the child objects of the base object, but not the base object itself.

  • Object – search only the specified base object.

9. Search filter​

The field allows you to display only the data complying with the query entered.

10. Columns returned from LDAP​

A list of columns returned as a result of querying the LDAP directory. You can add a new column, but it is necessary to return a profile property that was not enlisted on the list of returned columns.

11. Test​

The button executes a data source test. A query is executed and test results are returned. When an error occurs, a message is displayed.
