How LDAP Authentication Works

flowchart LR
    A[User logs in] --> B[infoRouter]
    B --> C{Authentication Type?}
    C -->|LDAP| D[Query LDAP Server]
    D --> E{Valid?}
    E -->|Yes| F[Access Granted]
    E -->|No| G[Access Denied]
    C -->|infoRouter| H[Check infoRouter DB]

Password Management

LDAP users maintain passwords in the LDAP directory, not infoRouter. They log in to infoRouter, but authentication is handled by LDAP.

Requirements

LDAP Sync Tool Standalone utility must be installed
LDAP Access Network access to LDAP server
Credentials LDAP service account for queries
Admin Rights System Administrator access in infoRouter

Import Process

  1. System Administrator installs LDAP Synchronization Tool
  2. Configure connection to LDAP server
  3. Select users/groups to import
  4. Run synchronization
  5. Users appear in infoRouter with LDAP authentication
