Configuring Active Directory and LDAP servers

When you integrate the license server with AD/LDAP, users can log in to Helix ALM applications using their domain credentials instead of maintaining a separate password. You can retrieve users from AD/LDAP to add to the license server and associate existing users on the license server with their AD/LDAP record.

1. Click Server Options.

The Server Options dialog box opens.

2. Select Active Directory/LDAP from the Authentication category.

3. Click Add Active Directory to add an AD server or Add LDAP to add an LDAP server. See Adding LDAP servers or Adding Active Directory servers.

4. To change information for a server, select it and click Edit. See Editing Active Directory and LDAP servers.

5. To inactivate a server, select it and click Inactivate. See Inactivating Active Directory and LDAP servers.

6. To delete a server, select it and click Delete. See Deleting Active Directory and LDAP servers.

7. Select the resync frequency to specify how often the license server resyncs with the AD/LDAP server to update user information.

You can also manually resync AD/LDAP users. See Resyncing Active Directory and LDAP users.

8. To reorder the servers, select a server and click Top, Move Up, Move Down, or Bottom. Servers are queried in the order they are displayed.

9. Click OK to save the changes.
