MicroStrategy ONE

Linking Integrated Authentication Users to LDAP Users

When users log in to MicroStrategy using their integrated authentication credentials, their LDAP group memberships can be imported and synchronized.

By default, users' integrated authentication information is stored in the userPrincipalName LDAP attribute. If your system stores integrated authentication information in a different LDAP attribute, you can specify the attribute when you configure the import.

To Import LDAP User and Group Information for Integrated Authentication Users

  1. In Developer, log in to a project source. You must log in as a user with administrative privileges.
  2. From the Administration menu, go to Server > Configure MicroStrategy Intelligence Server.
  3. Go to LDAP > Import > Options. The Import Options are displayed.
  4. Select the Synchronize user/group information with LDAP during Windows authentication and import Windows link during Batch Import check box.
  5. Select the Batch import Integrated Authentication/Trusted Authentication unique ID check box. The Use Default LDAP Attribute option is enabled.
  6. By default, users' integrated authentication IDs are stored in the userPrincipalName LDAP attribute. If your system stores integrated authentication information in a different LDAP attribute, click Other, and type the LDAP attribute that contains users' IDs.
  7. Click OK.
