If the enterprise has an LDAP server, the platform can be configured to automatically recognize selected users when they log in.

Considerations and Limitations

  • Active Directory is currently supported. Open LDAP is under development.
  • A single LDAP server is supported, currently.
  • The user's Team cannot currently be configured using LDAP attributes.
    The default team is always used.
