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.

  • Hello,

    the ldapSearch() function has a problem with searching. When no order is specified, sorting by the 'mail' field is being added by default. This causes an issue where if you want to search for objects that don't have this field, such as an organizational unit, the filter never returns them. For now, I've addressed this by adding sorting based on the 'name' field. I take this opportunity to also request a change to be able to add scope to the search
