Setup Guide
Follow these steps to connect LDAP to your Connect AI account:In the Server field, enter the domain name or IP address of the LDAP server. Do not include the LDAP:// prefix; only include the server’s domain name or IP address.
In the User field, enter the distinguished name (DN) of the user account used for authentication with the LDAP server.
Enter the Base DN. Specifying a base distinguished name limits the scope of searches and can increase performance, especially on large LDAP servers.
(Optional) Set Schema to choose the version to connect with. The default is Static, which uses the hard-coded column values in the .rsd files. Set it to Dynamic to use the table and column information provided by Active Directory.
At the top of the Connect AI Add Connection page, click Save & Test.
- If the connection test succeeds, a Connection successfully saved message appears, indicating that your connection has been created. The Status on the Edit Connection page also changes to Authenticated. View the data model of your successful connection in the right pane of the Edit Connection page, in the Data Model tab.
- If the connection test fails, ensure that you entered your login information correctly with no stray spaces or other characters. Connect AI displays error messages under the required fields with missing data. Some data sources require that you sign in directly to the source website. If you did not, an error message appears under the Sign in button. Correct the errors and try again.
- Unsuccessful connections are saved as drafts and have a Status of Not Authenticated. You can return to the connection and authenticate it later.
