Introduction


The LDAP Identity connector will crawl data about groups, persons, and more. It accomplishes this goal by storing data in the LDAP directory and authenticating users to access the directory.

Environment and Access Requirements

Account Privileges

For the LDAP Identity connector to be able to crawl the data from the LDAP directory that corresponds to the domain specified in the connection, it needs that the specified credentials have enough permissions to read said identities from the directory.

Other Requirements

The Aspire worker nodes must be able to reach the LDAP directory specified in the connection.
