Import an LDAP group

To permit existing lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP) users to log into the system, you can import an existing group from an LDAP server.

  1. In the top navigation bar, select Administration icon - which looks like a gear cog
    The administration page opens.
  2. In the Settings section, select Users.
    The Users management page opens.
  3. In the top right section, select Groups.
    The Groups page opens.
  4. In the top right, select Import from LDAP server.
    A dialog shows.
  5. In the Username field, enter a username.

    Note: This requires an admin user with full lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP) server permission. The Username for the LDAP server should be a distinguished name (DN) that follows the LDAP standard. For example, cn=username,cn=group,dc=nozominetworks,dc=com.
  6. In the Password field, enter a password.
  7. To retrieve the list of groups, select Retrieve groups.
    Note: You can also select Filter by group name, and type the name of the group that you want to retrieve.
  8. Filter and select the desired groups to import.
  9. Optional: To import related groups, for example, parent groups, select Get also member-of groups.
  10. Select Import configuration.
    The list of groups opens.
  11. Edit the group permissions as necessary.
    Note: LDAP users that belong to this group are automatically assigned to it and inherit all permissions of the configured group.
Users can log into the system with the username and their current domain password in the login screen.
