1. Usage Scenario

If your enterprise already has an account system like Microsoft AD, openLDAP or GoogleLDAP, you can directly connect the LDAP server to the ESA platform to reduce the workload of creating users.

2. Operation Steps

Go to ID Authentication–>Id Provider, click Add IdP–>LDAP to configure the connection.
[Feature Upgrade] Advanced Access Control

1)Fill in the following information as prompted:

  • LDAP proxy : If your LDAP server is in Intranet, you should choose one of an ESA connector as reverse proxy.

  • Server information : fill in your server information so that we can connect to sync contact info.

  • Advanced settings : config advanced settings if any

  • Synchronization configuration :

Parameter Name Description
Sync Status Configures whether to sync user account from LDAP when setup is done
Import Organization Choose to only import user accounts or sync user organization and user account
Duplicate Users During synchronization, if there are accounts that already exist on ESA, should the platform keep the existing user information or use user account in LDAP to overwrite 
Change User Group If there is user permission info included in LDAP, should the platform keep the user permission or delete when synchronize.
Enable Account Configures whether to enable the account when synchronize from LDAP or manually enable them later.
Default Bandwidth Configures the default bandwidth for each account. Or you can batch assign here and manually adjust the bandwidth for specific user in user details.
