10.1. LDAP Configuration Properties

SavaPage supports several LDAP server types out-of-the-box. The basic configuration options for these types are discussed at LDAP.

However, other server/schema types can be supported by defining the fields to query and the LDAP searches to perform. These options are configured by adjusting entries in the Config Editor of the Admin Web App. The following configuration properties are available:

LDAP Configuration Properties
Configuration property	Description
ldap.schema.user-name-field	The LDAP field that contains the user’s username. Content of this field is converted to lowercase when synchronized with the SavaPage database.
ldap.schema.user-full-name-field	The LDAP field that contains the user’s full name.
ldap.schema.user-email-field	The LDAP field that contains the user’s email address. Content of this field is converted to lowercase when synchronized with the SavaPage database.
ldap.schema.user-department-field	The LDAP field that contains the user’s department.
ldap.schema.user-office-field	The LDAP field that contains the user’s office location.
ldap.schema.user-name-search	The LDAP search to retrieve the user. The `{0}` in the search is replaced with `*` when listing all users, and `[username]` when searching for a specific user. If no search is defined, the default is `(userNameField={0})`, where `userNameField` is the value of configuration property “ldap.schema.user-name-field”. IMPORTANT: The search must include the `{0}` value and involve the LDAP field as specified in configuration property “ldap.schema.user-name-field”.
ldap.schema.group-name-field	The LDAP field that contains the group’s name.
ldap.schema.group-full-name-field	The LDAP field that contains the group’s full name.
ldap.schema.group-member-field	The LDAP field that contains the group members.
ldap.schema.group-search	The LDAP search to retrieve the group. The `{0}` in the search is replaced with `*` for all group searches. If no search is defined, the default is `([groupMemberField]={0})`, which means get all entries with at least one member. IMPORTANT: The search must include the `{0}` value.
ldap.schema.posix-groups	If `Y`, then the group member field contains the user’s username. If `N`, then the group member field contains the user’s DN.
