The User Provider tab allows you to configure the user providers if you want to use user synchronization with other systems.

Like in the 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.
  1. 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.

  2. Database sources: list of connected database sources. 

  3. Name: define your source name.

  4. 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.

  5. Hours delay: delay between synchronization attempts. Mark the 'Active' box to activate automatic synchronizations.

  6. User search query: query to search for users. 

  7. LDAP source: defines the LDAP source from the list defined in the Source Configurations.

  8. Config buttons: after you are done, click on 'Save' to save your source. The 'Test' button will evaluate the connection status.
