In addition to Basic Authentication, it supports the LDAP authentication provider. You can configure any LDAP-based directory service, such as Microsoft Active Directory, OpenLDAP Directory, Apache Directory Server, or Apple Directory Server. You can set LDAP synchronization to import users and groups from your Active Directory automatically. By default, assigns the RPA Member and BPA Member roles to newly created users from LDAP.

Steps to Configure Active Directory/LDAP Authentication

1. Click the Configure button under the LDAP Authentication provider.

2. In the LDAP Server Settings tab, select the type of LDAP server.

Setting	Description
Server Type	Select the type of LDAP server Microsoft Active Directory and LDAP. If you use Microsoft Active Directory, choose that option; for other LDAP servers, select LDAP from the dropdown.

Host	Specify the LDAP server name or IP address.
Port	Specify the port. By default, set to 389
Use SSL-secured connection	If SSL is enabled, check this option for secure data transmitted between your browser and the server to protect from unauthorized access.
User Name	Specify username to retrieve details of domains, organizational units, groups, and users. You can also enter the distinguished name of the user, e.g., CN=admin, CN=Users, DC=TestDomain, DC=com.

This synchronization only affects the mapped groups and reflects any changes in membership within the Active Directory group in the mapped Control Room group.
