LDAP/Active Directory Authentication

LDAP/Active Directory Authentication allow connectDaily to authenticate users against an existing directory. This can eliminate problems with synchronizing passwords between the network and applications. Using LDAP/AD authentication you can:

• Verify username and passwords against the directory.
• Set connectDaily group memberships based on LDAP/AD group memberships.
• Automatically create users.

Please note that the browser will transmit the plain text username/password to the web service running connectDaily. If you're allowing access from untrusted networks, we urgently recommend you use SSL to encrypt communications between the browser and connectDaily.

Enabling LDAP from the hosted version of connectDaily requires that the LDAP/Active Directory server be accessible from connectDaily's hosting service. Contact Technical Support for additional information.

The sections below provide information on configuring connectDaily to use LDAP/Active Directory.
