LDAP Synchronization

Features

Main functions:

• Automatic creation and update of Persons and Users in iTop based on LDAP data.
• Automatic assignment of Profiles to Users based on LDAP groups (this is optional).

 

Limitations

• The current version is synchronizing neither the Organizations nor the Locations.
• The location of person and the manager of a person are not synchronized.
• The collector is collecting data from one single LDAP directory instance only.
• Date format of the source data must be YYYY-MM-DD (hh:mm:ss)

 

Data Collector overview

How data collector works

Collectors are small ETL. Some parts can be customized by configuration, others by code.

• ⬇ Extract:
• 🔁 Transform: mapping can be done by configuration
• ⬆ Load: as the collector uses the iTop DataSynchro, this phase will be customized only by configuration

Event issue creation

eventissue_log_level has been added to be able to track collector issues from iTop console directly.

Configuration

Your iTop instance has a fix IP. Open your firewall for your instance IP on your LDAPS port.

To configure LDAP synchro you need :

• Your LDAP URI
• Your credentials (We suggest you to use a account with read only access to your LDAP)
