3.6.3 Settings: LDAP

In computer networking, the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, or LDAP, is a networking

protocol for querying and modifying directory services running over TCP/IP. A directory is a set of

information with similar attributes organized in a logical and hierarchical manner. The most common

example is the telephone directory, which consists of a series of names (either of a person or

organization) organized alphabetically, with an address and phone number attached.

LDAP is an alternative user authentication mechanism that may be used with Printgroove. Many

companies have LDAP servers, like Active Directory, to store their user authentication information.

You can also set the system to None.

3.6.3.1 Active Directory LDAP Authentication

Printgroove

needs to be configured to use a Microsoft Active Directory LDAP server, choose

Active Directory Authentication from the menu.

For login authentication to work properly, the user must exist in both Printgroove and the

company LDAP server.

The Settings > LDAP menu will configure the

Printgroove

system to use your existing LDAP

based system for user authentication. Each user is considered valid in Printgroove, if they are, in

turn, able to authenticate to the LDAP server. Enter the fields with your data:

Host Address: the hostname or IP Address of your LDAP Server

Port: the port on which the LDAP Server is “listening” – usually 389

Domain name: the domain to which the users belong

This configuration means that when a user logs into

Printgroove

, the data is passed to the Active

Directory LDAP server to authenticate. If this is a valid user and password, they will be allowed to

Printgroove

. The Reset button will reset the field values to the last Saved setting.
