LDAP Tools

Overview

This Plug-in provides the ability to update Appian user profiles from data retrieved from an LDAP server. The data that can be synchronized include all the default user profile fields except the username (e.g. first name, last name, address, phone, supervisor, title, etc…) as well as the custom fields.

Key Features & Functionality

  • LDAP User Profile Synchronization (Smart Service) - available in the Process Modeler under Integration Services > Connectivity Services
  • LDAP Sync Process Model (Sample Process Model) - will need to be tailored and tested based on identity management requirements
  • ldapSearch() Function - returns an array of LDAP attributes for a specific search query

See the instructions documentation (attached PDF) and https://community.appian.com/w/the-appian-playbook/520/ldap-synchronization for more information.

  • Hi,

    I have tried to import the LDAP Sync App in my environment and encountered with below error.
    The specified file does not contain a valid package and cannot be imported. (APNX-1-4154-000)

    Can you please let me know how can I import this application?

    Thanks,
    Venu.

    I was finally able to get this to import after learning a bit about how Mac creates a compressed archive. it turns out that the downloaded package has multiple layers of packaged folders, yet there is a fix for it. On Mac, I had to select the files/folders in /<zip root>/LDAP Sync/LDAP Sync/*, and select compress for those. I then imported the resulting archive, and it got past the error. (ignore the Archive.zip file here):
