LDAP integration with KPOINT

 

It is possible to corporate users to login to KPOINT using their corporate user-ids and passwords. For this purpose, you need to integrate KPOINT with your LDAP server.

This requires you to fill in appropriate parameters using KPOINT’s site administration menu. You need to configure the following:

  • User entries configure the details related to groups

Here are the details:
