You can use the LDAP connector from the CData Sync application to capture data from LDAP and move it to any supported destination. To do so, you need to add the connector, authenticate to the connector, and complete your connection.

Add the LDAP Connector

To enable Sync to use data from LDAP, you first must add the connector, as follows:

1. Open the Connections page of the Sync dashboard.

2. Click Add Connection to open the Select Connectors page.

3. Click the Sources tab and locate the LDAP row.

4. Click the Configure Connection icon at the end of that row to open the New Connection page. If the Configure Connection icon is not available, click the Download Connector icon to install the LDAP connector. For more information about installing new connectors, see Connections.

Authenticate to LDAP

After you add the connector, you need to set the required properties.

• Connection Name - Enter a connection name of your choice.

• Server - Enter the domain name or the IP address of your LDAP server.

• Port - Enter the port number for the LDAP server. The default port value is 389.

• User - Enter the distinguished name of a specified user.

• Password - Enter the password for the distinguished username.

Complete Your Connection

To complete your connection:

1. Specify the following properties:

   • Base DN - Enter the base portion of the distinguished name. The base portion of the name limits results to specific subtrees.

   • Use SSL (optional) - Select whether you want to enable Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). The default value is False.

2. Define advanced connection settings on the Advanced tab. (In most cases, though, you should not need these settings.)

3. Click Create & Test to create your connection.
