Basic LDAP integration - SSO
- Tomi Pelttari
NOTE: Ubisecure product names were unified in autumn 2011. All products which started with term "Ubilogin" were renamed to start with term "Ubisecure". In documentation this name change is implemented retroactively, i.e., the new naming practice is used also when referring to old software versions which started with term "Ubilogin" at the time of their release.
This documentation describes the most basic LDAP specific implementation alternative for the Ubisecure External Directory Integration feature. The main focus is on the installation and configuration of this alternative of the Ubisecure External Directory Integration feature.
This alternative can be used with Active Directories and other LDAP directories when no schema changes can be made to them. In Ubisecure terminology, the chosen directory is also called the External Directory.
In this case the Ubisecure Authentication Server has a read-only LDAP/LDAPS connection with the external directory. There is no need for LDAP schema changes in the external directory as this alternative uses the external directory in a commonly supported way.
