HCL Marketing Platform | Security | Login method details | LDAP

Specifies the name or IP address of the LDAP server. Set the value to the machine name or IP address of the LDAP server. For example: machineName.companyDomain.com

If you are integrating with Windows™ Active Directory, use the server name instead of the DNS name.

Undefined

This property is used only when the Marketing Platform is configured to integrate with a Windows Active Directory or other LDAP server.

Specifies the port on which the LDAP server listens. Set the value to the appropriate port number. Typically, the port number is 389 (636 if SSL is used).

Specifies the filter to use to search for users. Valid values are any valid LDAP search filter (see RFC 2254). Note that you must XML-escape any XML characters in this value.

Typically, the value for the user login attribute is uid for LDAP servers and sAMAccountName for Windows Active Directory servers. You should verify this on your LDAP or Active Directory server. If your LDAP server is Windows Active Directory, you should change the default value of this property to use sAMAccountName rather than uid. For example:

(&(|(objectClass=user)(objectClass=person))(sAMAccountName={0}))

(&(|(objectClass=user)(objectClass=person))(uid={0}))

This property is used only when the Marketing Platform is configured to integrate with a Windows Active Directory or other LDAP server.

Specifies whether the Marketing Platform uses credentials from the Marketing Platform database when searching the LDAP or Windows Active Directory server during user authentication (at login time).

If your LDAP or Windows Active Directory server does not allow anonymous access, set this value to true.

If this value is false, the Marketing Platform connects with the LDAP or Windows Active Directory server anonymously. You may set this value to false if your LDAP or Windows Active Directory server allows anonymous access.
