LDAP Functionality

The LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol Integration) is an optional feature that integrates the Governance Portal with the company's directory, allowing users to use their network User ID and password to login to the Governance Portal. With the LDAP Integration, Portal Administrators can configure and connect their directory servers within the Governance Portal to ease user management, increase efficiency in managing users and improve security by ensuring invalid users are not active in the Governance Portal . LDAP works with multiple domains, meaning that all users within a company are able to authenticate to the system via LDAP.

Your IT system administrator is responsible for the setup and synchronization with the directory. There are settings that need to be established in the Site Settings area of the Governance Portal. See the Governance Portal Installation and Administration Guide for additional information regarding site settings.
