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 everyone,

    I’m working with a customer who recently migrated from an on-premises setup to a cloud environment. Since the move, they’ve been experiencing significant slowness during LDAP synchronization. Specifically, the LDAP User Sync with Usernames plugin smart service is taking approximately 8 minutes to process just 7 usernames.

    Has anyone encountered similar performance issues post-migration? Are there any recommended alternatives to this plugin or best practices to improve sync efficiency in a cloud environment
