[accordion title=”Configuration”]
- In the Settings page for the module, there is two main pieces
- A) If you the notice of “LDAP Modifications Not Currently Installed”, you must press “Click Here” to install or your vtiger login will not work AT ALL if you attempt to use LDAP or AD Authentication
- B) Authentication Method
- Select the authentication method you wish to use
- NOTE: the user “admin” will always be able to login using the SQL password, regardless if this user is in LDAP or AD
[/accordion]
[accordion title=”Default”]
- This is the standard VTiger SQL authentication. You can choose to use this method at any time.
[/accordion]
[accordion title=”LDAP”]
- LDAP Host: Hostname (or IP) to connect to for LDAP searches
- LDAP Port: Port to connect to connect to for LDAP searches
- BaseDN: Base Domain Name
- UID definition: Defines your LDAP user definition. Either UID or CN (use UID if unsure)
- Example: dc=mydomain,dc=local
- Username: Account to login as when doing user searches (can leave this blank for anonymous searches)
- Password: Password to use with Username (leave blank if username is blank)
[/accordion]
[accordion title=”Active Directory”]
- BaseDN: Base Domain Name
- Example: dc=mydomain,dc=local
- AD Account Suffix: Account suffix for user searches
- Example: @mydomain.local
- Domain Controllers: Domain controllers for the Active Directory
- Example: dc1.mydomain.local
- Real Group: AD does not return the primary group. Leaving this unchecked will fudge “Domain Users” and is much faster. Checked will resolve the real primary group, but may be resource intensive.
- Username: Account to login as when doing user searches (can leave this blank for anonymous searches)
- Password: Password to use with Username (leave blank if username is blank)
[/accordion]
[accordion title=”Adding Users”]
- This module will bypass the password stored in Vtiger and use LDAP/AD for authentication.
- Create a new Vtiger user with the username and email that matches the desired user in your LDAP/AD
- Enter a password in the user creation screen. This password will not be used by Vtiger for authentication.
- Continue to fill the rest of the user profile if desired.
- When the user logs in, Vtiger will check the LDAP/AD server for password authentication.
