If your company uses LDAP servers, such as Microsoft Active Directory, to manage user accounts and groups, you can enable those user accounts and groups access to Deep Discovery Director (Consolidated Mode).

Note:

  • LDAP server settings have to be configured before an LDAP user account or group can be added.

    For details, see LDAP.

  • Deep Discovery Director (Consolidated Mode) syncs LDAP user accounts and groups every 24 hours. User accounts or groups that are removed from the LDAP server will be removed from Deep Discovery Director (Consolidated Mode) after syncing with the LDAP server.

  • If an LDAP user is a member of one or more groups, the user's level of access in Deep Discovery Director (Consolidated Mode) is determined by the highest level of access granted to the user's Deep Discovery Director (Consolidated Mode) account or any group the user is a member of.

  1. Go to Administration > Account Management > Accounts, and then click Add.

    The Add Account screen appears.

  2. Toggle the Status of this account.
  3. Select LDAP user or group as the Type for this account.
  4. Type a user or group name and click Search to search the LDAP server for matching user accounts or groups.

    Matching user accounts and groups are displayed in the results table.

    Note:

    User accounts are not displayed in the results table if:

    • The user account's User Principal Name (UPN) is not specified on the LDAP server

    • The user account is disabled on the LDAP server

  5. Select the LDAP user account or group to add.
    Note:

    The LDAP email address of the user account or group will be used on Deep Discovery Director (Consolidated Mode).

  6. Select a Role for this account. The role determines the level of access this account has.

    For details, see Roles.

  7. (Optional) Type a description for this account.
  8. Click Save.
