Overview

...

Your HyperCloudTM Platform (HCP) can accept Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) authentication if your organization had implemented remote authentication. The HCP portal can be configured to accept remote authentication providers like:

...

  • Set up specific configurations for Individual Users or User Groups within your HCP portal.

  • Verify the HCP user credentials against your corporate LDAP directory.

  • Prevent performance issues that arise out of downloading large groups-related information from your LDAP directory.

To enable LDAP on your HCP portal:

  1. Login to your HCP portal.

  2. Navigate to Administration>Users>Identity Provider>New>LDAP/AD.

  3. Click on LDAP/AD. You'll be redirected to the LDAP/AD Authentication Provider Details page. 

  4. Complete the fields with information specific to your LDAP or Microsoft Azure Active Directory account. Refer to the field description table below:

Name

Base DN 

Provide the value for the root distinguished name (DN) that needs to be used while running queries against the directory server.

For Microsoft Active Directory, specify the base DN in the following format: 

  • dc=domain1,dc=local.

You will need to replace domain1 and local with your environment-specific configuration.
Microsoft Server has a "ldp.exe" tool that lets you find and configure your LDAP server structure.

5. Click on Save Changes. You can now import users from your remote authentication provider account.

6. Click on Test Connection. If the details you entered are correct, you'll get a Connection Successful and Base DN Verified status message to the right.
