Authentication with LDAP

LDAP means Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. This can be used for centralized authentication. This extension allows you to connect BlueSpice (and MediaWiki) to an LDAP server for central authentication.

BlueSpice with LDAP

The MediaWiki extension "LDAP Authentication" is available in BlueSpice free, but is not activated by default. To link the Wiki to LDAP you need to activate the extension and configure it.

Configuration options

LDAP	Connection to AD without group synchronization
LDAP with group synchronization	If you have already defined user groups for your company, they can be adopted for the wiki. The corresponding groups are automatically present in the wiki with the group name and you can assign the corresponding rights to the groups there.
Comfort Sign-on	such as LDAP with group synchronization as above To further extend the connection to a central authentication, there is the possibility to set up a single sign-on. This means that the user is also logged on to the wiki at the same time when logging on to the PC.
