LDAP Guide
LDAP Settings
The LDAP section is used to connect an LDAP server to the AIONCLOUD environment in order to allow for users to login with the accounts provided in the LDAP. In order to do this, the LDAP connector must be installed on the LDAP server in order to access the user accounts.
Once connection with the LDAP server has been established, users will be added to the SIA user list automatically and an option to sign in to the SIA console under LDAP will become available.
You can find the LDAP settings by navigating to:
Settings > Login Settings > LDAP

Configuring the LDAP Settings
This page will provide a guide on how to configure the LDAP settings page to connect with your LDAP server using the Linux connector.
Step 1: Confirm the information of your LDAP server
The first step that you will need to do is to find out the key information of your LDAP server.
We will need to know:
| LDAP Version |
| Server Address / Port |
| Bind DN |
| Bind Password |
| Base DN |
| Search Cycle |
After this is completed, enter the information into the LDAP Settings fields and click apply.
Step 2: Download the Connector
Start by clicking the download button to get the connector file.
Step 3: Upload and Extract the file
Upload the file to your linux server where the LDAP server is hosted, and then extract the tar file.
- Upload the tar file to the server.
- Run tar -xzvf (file name).
- A folder should appear for the LDAP connector.
Step 4: Install the Connector
To start, run ./install to install the connector.
Run systemctl status ldapconnector.service to confirm install.
Step 5: Link with the LDAP Setting
On the LDAP menu, locate the button labeled "Access ID."
Copy the Access ID, and go back to the connector and run vi config.json.
Inside this file, copy the access ID and write the name of the SSE workspace being used.
After this step, attempt to connect the LDAP connector via the SSE LDAP console menu and it is good to go.
After logging in, the LDAP option will be available:
