What Is LDAP?
LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is a protocol that allows authenticated communication between applications (in this case Nexudus) and directory services servers.
What are directory services?
Directory services store the occupiers, passwords, and computer accounts, and share that information with other parties.
Provided you already have a directory service, all you need to enable the integration. Once the integration is enabled, regular User Portal credentials won't work and all occupiers will need to log in using their directory credentials.
This integration is only available to Workplaces customers on the Professional or Enterprise tiers.
How the LDAP Integration Works
The LDAP integration lets your directory occupiers log in to your User Portal using their directory credentials.
Whenever a occupier tries to log in to the User Portal using directory credentials, Nexudus will communicate with your directory's server using LDAP to check if the occupier's credentials match a directory profile.
If the occupier doesn't exist in your directory, they won't be able to access to the User Portal. If the credentials match a directory profile, Nexudus will grant or deny access to the User Portal based on the Provision new occupiers if they don't exist setting you've defined while setting up the integration.
