Test LDAP Connection
Test LDAP connection ensures that you don’t lock yourself out of the platform. If you don’t check before switching the identity provider, and there is a mistake in the URL, no one will be able to log in. Before you enable LDAP, or save LDAP settings, you must test the configuration first. The platform does not allow you to enable or save your LDAP configuration without the test, which checks whether:
the URL is an actual reachable LDAP server
the bind credentials allow the platform to log in there
Enter your administrator username and password, and click Test Connection. If the test is successful, you can enable the LDAP connections in the LDAP Status section.
Note
The platform does not currently check the admin password. Be sure you have this correct.
