Creating Repository Users Managed by LDAP

If you have not selected the Auto-create user accounts in repository option, you must create repository accounts for each user that you want to be able to connect. Even if you select this option, we recommend that you create appropriate user accounts in advance in order to grant appropriate rights and permissions on your various repository folders and documents.

  1. Select Repository > Administration > Users to open the List of Users and click the Add a Row tool.
  2. Enter a name in the Login Name column and click the Properties button to open the property sheet of the user.
  3. Select the External (managed by LDAP) check box, and click the Check Name button to verify the login name and auto-fill the remaining fields, which are set, with the exception of Comment, to read-only.
  4. Click the Groups tab and add the user to any appropriate groups.
    By default, all LDAP users are added to the External and Public groups, from which they inherit the Read permission on all the contents of the repository.
  5. Click the Rights tab and specify any appropriate rights for the user. By default, all users are granted only the Connect right, which entitles them to connect to the repository.
  6. Click the Profiles tab and associate the user with appropriate object permissions, UI, and general preferences profiles.
  7. Click OK to complete the creation of the user.
