Connecting to a Directory Server
To connect HMP to a Directory Server:
- Click the icon and select Administration from the navigation drop-down menu.
- Click System Settings on the toolbar and then click User Provisioning/SSO on the sidebar.
The User Provisioning pane opens. - To connect to an LDAP or Active Directory server, click the Directory Services bullet.
The Directory Services configuration settings then become available, as shown in the following example. - Under Authentication, select the type of LDAP implementation for your system, either:
- Active Directory: An implementation of LDAP directory services by Microsoft.
- OpenLDAP: An open-source implementation of LDAP directory services.
- For the server Connection, Query, and Data Mapping settings, enter or select the new values in the appropriate fields. See Directory Services Settings for details.
- To configure Single Sign-On (SSO), toggle the Single Sign-On button to On. The SSO configuration settings appear, as shown in the following example. Enter or select the appropriate values in the SSO fields. See Integrating HMP with Single Sign-On (SSO) Environments.
To test the connection to the defined directory server, click the Test Settings button.
Note
- If you get the message "Anonymous Connection Succeeded," this means that HMP has found the server, but the username and/or password is most likely wrong.
- If you get the message "Connection Test Succeeded," this means that the server IP address, port, username, and password are correct. A list of the first 10 users and groups are displayed, as shown in the following example.
- Click Save Settings to save the connection.
The users and groups lists are populated with the LDAP or Active Directory users and groups.
