User Provider
The User Provider tab allows you to configure the user providers if you want to use user synchronization with other systems.
Like in Source Configurations, you can choose between a database table and a LDAP system as source for the synchronization process.
Overview
Here you can configure the LDAP or database sources that define the user synchronization.
LDAP sources: list of connected LDAP sources. LDAP sources are used to manage user and group permissions.
Click on 'Execute all' to synchronize your users and on 'Add' to add a new source.
Database sources: list of connected database sources.
Name: define your source name.
Attributes: here you can define the format of the attributes contained in your sources, such as username, language, first and last names, email and currency.
Synchronization Job:
Mark the "Active" box to enable automatic synchronizations. Then you can either schedule the synchronization with a specified delay or with a CRON string
User search query: query to search for users.
LDAP source: defines the LDAP source from the list defined in Source Configurations.
Config buttons: after you are done, click on 'Save' to save your source. The 'Test' button will evaluate the connection status.
