LDAP/Active Directory Authentication

LDAP/Active Directory Authentication allow Connect Daily to authenticate users against an existing directory. This can eliminate problems with synchronizing passwords between the network and applications. Using LDAP/AD authentication you can:

• Verify username and passwords against the directory.
• Set Connect Daily group memberships based on LDAP/AD group memberships.
• Automatically create users.

Please note that the browser will transmit the plain text username/password to the web service running Connect Daily. If you're allowing access from untrusted networks, we urgently recommend you use SSL to encrypt communications between the browser and Connect Daily.

Enabling LDAP from the hosted version of Connect Daily requires that the LDAP/Active Directory server be accessible from Connect Daily's hosting service. Contact Technical Support for additional information.

The sections below provide information on configuring Connect Daily to use LDAP/Active Directory.
