Adding Manual LDAP Targets

If the endpoint on which the ObserveIT Application Server is installed is not a member of any Active Directory domain, you can manually add LDAP Targets.

To add a manual-type LDAP Target

1. In the Manual LDAP Target section of the Configuration > User Management > LDAP Setting page, enter an LDAP path.

   Use one of the following options:

   LDAP://Domain_Controller_Name/DC=Domain_Name,DC=Suffix

   For example: LDAP://WIN2003-DC/DC=OIT-DEMO,DC=LOCAL

   The Domain_Controller_Name can be either the server's host name, or the server's IP address.

   

   In some cases, you will need to use UPPER CASE letters for the LDAP path.

2. Enter a User Name and Password.

   The required user name should have at least read access rights to the target domain. You do NOT need to use the Administrator account, or a user account that is a member of the Domain Admins group. However, if authentication fails, you could try to use such an account in order to test your connection.

3. Click Add & Verify.

   

4. If the Domain path and credentials were valid, the connection will be added to the LDAP Targets List, and the LDAP Target type will be set to Manual.

   

   After the LDAP connection is properly established, you can start working with Active Directory-based Console Users.
