What is LDAP?
Understand what LDAP is and how its settings work in your server environment.
Overview
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is a platform protocol used for directory services authentication.
LDAP provides the communication language that your server uses to communicate with other directory services servers. Directory services store the users, passwords, and computer accounts, and share that information with your company entity on the network.
The LDAP settings ensure your company users log on by authenticating directly into an LDAP server and then enable synchronization with LDAP to update user information. Configure LDAP settings for the following purposes:
Synchronize users in your organization as ProcessMaker users.
Authenticate the server source.
Configure how users and groups synchronize.
