Integrating an LDAP server with a single sign-on (SSO) system can be done by following the steps below:
1. Choose an SSO solution that supports LDAP integration. Many SSO solutions, such as Ping Identity, Okta, and OneLogin, offer LDAP integration as an option.
1. Configure your LDAP server to support LDAP authentication. This usually involves creating an LDAP user account with read-only access to the LDAP directory and configuring the LDAP server to allow external authentication.
1. Configure your SSO solution to connect to the LDAP server. This involves entering the LDAP server details and the credentials for the LDAP user account you created.
1. Map LDAP attributes to SSO attributes. This is necessary to ensure that the user data in the LDAP directory is correctly mapped to SSO attributes.
1. Test the integration. Once the LDAP server is integrated with the SSO system, test the integration by logging in to the SSO portal with your LDAP credentials.
1. Enable Single Sign-On to other applications. If you want to enable single sign-on to other applications, you need to configure the SSO solution to connect to those applications and map LDAP attributes to the corresponding application attributes.
1. Set up group mapping. Group mapping is the process of mapping LDAP groups to SSO groups. This is necessary to ensure that users have the appropriate access to different applications.
1. Monitor and maintain the integration. Monitor the integration to ensure that it continues to work properly, and make any necessary changes as needed.
