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 got this same exact error. It seems like the folder structure of the LDAP Sync.zip file is not correct.

    • The LDAP Sync.zip file's Manifest.MF file lists Appian-Version 7.9.
    • There is a sub-folder called LDAP Sync with a Manifest.MF file with Appian-Version 20.4.
    • I attempted to re-package the sub-folder to its own zip file, but we still get the same error - the zip file is not a valid package.
