LDAP Server Settings
Overview
The LDAP Server Settings screen in Motadata AIOps provides administrators with the ability to configure and integrate LDAP servers seamlessly. LDAP is a protocol used to access and manage directory information services, allowing organizations to centralize user authentication and authorization processes.
With the LDAP Server Settings, administrators can establish a connection between Motadata AIOps and their LDAP server, enabling user authentication against the LDAP directory. This integration simplifies user management by leveraging existing LDAP infrastructure and streamlining access control.
In this section, administrators can define the necessary parameters to establish a connection with the LDAP server. This includes specifying the LDAP server address, port number, encryption options, and other authentication settings. By configuring these settings accurately, Motadata AIOps can communicate with the LDAP server and authenticate user credentials during login.
Integrating an LDAP server with Motadata AIOps offers several benefits, such as centralized user management, reduced administrative overhead, and enhanced security through consistent authentication. With LDAP integration, organizations can leverage their existing user directories, ensuring seamless user authentication and authorization within the Motadata AIOps environment.

Configure LDAP Server
Provide the details for LDAP Server configuration as follows:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| IP/Host | Specify the IP address or hostname of the LDAP server. Enter the appropriate value to establish the connection between Motadata AIOps and the LDAP server. |
| FQDN | Enter the Fully Qualified Domain Name(FQDN) of the LDAP server. This is the complete domain name that uniquely identifies the server. |
| Port | Specify the port number on which the LDAP server is listening. This allows Motadata AIOps to communicate with the LDAP server using the designated port. |
| Server Protocol | Select the appropriate authentication protocol, whether LDAP or LDAPS. |
| User Name | Enter the username associated with the LDAP server. This username is used for authentication purposes when establishing a connection with the LDAP server. |
| Password | Provide the corresponding password for the LDAP server username. This password is used to authenticate the user during the connection establishment process. |
| Test | This button allows you to verify whether the provided username and password can successfully access the IP or hostname of the LDAP server. This helps ensure the accuracy of the LDAP server configuration. |
| Import Certificate | This option is only available only when you select the LDAPS protocol in the Server Protocol option. Attach the SSL certificate required for LDAPS authentication. |
| LDAP Authentication | Enable or disable LDAP authentication for user login. When enabled, user credentials are authenticated against the LDAP directory, providing centralized user authentication. |
| Auto Sync | Enable this feature to allow automatic synchronization of user accounts between Motadata AIOps and the LDAP server. This helps maintain consistency between the two systems, reducing manual effort in managing user accounts. |
| Sync Every | This option is available only when you select the Auto Sync option. Select the time frame after which you want the synchronisation between Motadata AIOps and the LDAP server to run on a recurrent basis. |
Configuring these LDAP Server Settings accurately is crucial to establish a successful connection with the LDAP server and enable user authentication and synchronization within Motadata AIOps.
