How to Perform LDAP Authentication with Active Directory or with OpenLDAP Using the "Mail" LDAP Attribute

May 16, 2016  •  2 min. read

Axigen can be configured to perform authentication against an Active Directory or an OpenLDAP server instead of using the internal password database. When using LDAP authentication, by default the username is matched with the 'uid' LDAP attribute for OpenLDAP and with the 'sAMAccountName' attribute for Active Directory.

In some situations the user's email address may be stored in the 'mail' LDAP attribute and the account part of the user's email address may be different than the value of the default 'uid' or 'sAMAccountName' attributes.

This article describes how to authenticate the Axigen accounts by matching the user's email address against the 'mail' LDAP attribute.

Important: the LDAP connector described in this article should only be used for authentication. It should not be used to perform synchronization between Axigen and the LDAP server.
