# Enable LDAP authentication

'Enable LDAP authentication' menu item

LDAP authentication is disabled/LDAP authentication is enabled: Use this toggle to enable or disable LDAP authentication.

Create new users automatically: If the option Create new users automatically is enabled, a new user is automatically created in ELO after logon.

Information

Initial authentication, i.e. the user does not exist in ELO yet, must take place with one of the following values:

  • sAMAccountName, userPrincipalName, or mail for Active Directory
  • UID or mail for OpenLDAP

Assign group: If the Assign group option is enabled, users are automatically assigned to the corresponding LDAP groups. For this to work, the groups must be created in ELO and the names must match the names of the groups in LDAP.

Please note

LDAP groups are only read and used when users log on.

ELO user for internal authentication: In this field, you can specify which ELO users/groups should not authenticate with LDAP. These users/groups can log on to ELO directly.
