  1. Enter the appropriate information for connecting to your LDAP server. An example setup is shown in the screenshot below.   
    1. LDAP Host: The hostname of the LDAP server.
    2. Port: The port for the LDAP server. The default is 389.

  2. Click Verify to ensure that your connection to the LDAP server works as expected. A message will indicate whether the test was successful. If the test is not successful, make the needed changes to the setup, save the changes, and retest the connection.

License Statistics lets you import user groups you have defined in an LDAP directory. Importing your user groups from LDAP eliminates the need to create user groups manually, which can be time consuming if you have a large number of users.  For more information, see v6.0 Importing LDAP user groups.

To enable LDAP import:

  1. Check the "Enable LDAP Import" checkbox to enable importing user groups you have defined in an LDAP directory.
  2. Optionally, you may enter a filter for the import to limit the data that is imported.
  3. Click Verify to ensure that your connection to the LDAP server works as expected. A message will indicate whether the test was successful. If the test is not successful, make the needed changes to the setup, save the changes, and retest the connection.
