Registering LDAP entities

As an Administrator, you can add LDAP groups, organizational units, and users to the list of Application Security users. Application Security automatically updates access control as users join and leave groups.

To register an LDAP organizational unit, group, or user with Application Security:

  1. Sign in to Application Security as an Administrator.

  2. On the header, select Administration.

  3. On the navigation pane, expand Users, and then select LDAP Entities.

  4. On the LDAP toolbar, click +ADD.

  5. From the LDAP Entity list, select the type of LDAP entity you want to register (Group, User, or Organizational Unit).

  6. In the list of returned entities, select the user, group, or organizational unit that you want to register.

    Add New LDAP Entity dialog box showing returned entities

  7. In the Roles section, select the check boxes that correspond to the roles you want to assign to the selected entity.

  8. To give the LDAP entity access to versions of an application, in the Access section, do the following.

    You can add versions for multiple applications, but you must add them one at a time using the following steps.

    1. Click + ADD.

    2. From the Application list in the SELECT APPLICATION VERSION dialog box , select the name of an application that you want the LDAP entity to access.

      Application Security lists all active versions of the application.

    3. To display inactive versions of the application, select the Show inactive versions check box.

    4. Select the check boxes for all of the versions that you want the entity to access.

    5. Click DONE.

    The Access section lists the application versions you selected.

  9. Do one of the following:

    • To save your changes and close the Add New LDAP Entity dialog box, click SAVE.

    • To save your changes and register another LDAP entity, click SAVE AND ADD ANOTHER.

Application Security adds the entities to its list of users and periodically refreshes the LDAP server cache automatically.
