How to Link a Group to an LDAP Group
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) authentication identifies users within a repository of users stored in an LDAP server (such as Novell Directory Services).
If you use an LDAP directory to centrally manage users in your environment, you may want to use LDAP authentication. Group membership can be maintained in the LDAP directory without having to also be defined in the MicroStrategy Intelligence Server.
When using LDAP authentication, LDAP users or groups are linked to users or groups in the MicroStrategy environment. You determine to which MicroStrategy users or groups they are linked:
-
Import users or groups from the LDAP store into MicroStrategy, and the linking is done automatically
-
Link them manually using the User Editor or Group Editor
-
Link them using commands in the Command Manager
-
Allow temporary links to the LDAP Users group that has limited privileges as a default
-
MicroStrategy groups are automatically linked to LDAP groups if the group is imported from LDAP.
