LDAP attributes

The following article presents a brief description of common LDAP attributes.

Such attributes can be mapped directly into Bizagi's WFUser System Entity's attributes through the LDAP synchronization feature.

For more information about this feature, refer to Importing LDAP Users.

 

Refer to the table below to view how to address attributes in your LDAP Server as information possibly useful in your Bizagi end users.

For further and official information about LDAP attributes and the filtering possibilities, refer to Microsoft guides at http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/5392.active-directory-ldap-syntax-filters.aspx.
