Import users from an LDAP directory
LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is a method of querying directory systems that contain information,
such as user names and passwords, about users. You can import users from an LDAP server and map their user
attributes (such as user name and password) to Version
Cue user attributes. Users that you import from an LDAP
server appear with a user icon
that is different from the typical user icon
.
Note:
If you enabled Automatic User Account Creation when you configured the Version
Cue Server and then subse-
quently enable LDAP support, LDAP users are automatically imported when they access the server with their LDAP
account name. Users imported in this fashion are added to the Everyone group, given a user access level of None, and
are not able to log into Version
Cue Server Administration. Use this technique to automatically assign LDAP users
default access rights to projects on a Version
Cue server without having to explicitly import users.
1
Click the Advanced tab in Version
Cue Server Administration.
2
Click LDAP Preferences.
3
Click Enable LDAP Support, and then enter information about the LDAP server:
•
Enter the server name in the LDAP Server box.
•
Enter the server port in the Server Port box.
•
Enter the starting point in the LDAP hierarchy for the directory on the LDAP server in the Searchbase box.
•
If the LDAP server requires authentication, enter a user name and password in the Username and Password boxes.
•
Select Use LDAP with SSL if you want to connect via SSL to an SSL-enabled LDAP server.
•
Enter LDAP attributes in the User-Id, Displayname, E-Mail, Info, and Phone boxes. Version
Cue
maps
these
to
the
corresponding Version
Cue Server attributes.
•
To specify that the Version
Cue Server periodically synchronizes with the LDAP server, select Enable Automatic
Synchronization and specify a synchronization period.
4
Click Save.

In the Users/Groups tab of Version
Cue Server Administration, click Click To Maximize in the Users area.

Type the first few letters of the LDAP user name or names you want to import in the External User dialog box.
(Version
Cue auto-completes the entry.)

Repeat steps 7 and 8 until you’ve added all desired LDAP users, and then click Import User.
Export a list of users
To add a set of users to another Version
Cue Server, export a list of users and then copy it to the UsersExport folder
in the Version
Cue application folder of the other computer with a Version
Cue Server. You can then use the export
list to import users.

Click the Users/Groups tab in Version
Cue Server Administration.
2
Click To Maximize in the Users area.
3
Click Export Users.

Select the users you want to export (Shift-click to select contiguous users, Ctrl-click to select noncontiguous
