Directory Connection - Setup Overview

Discover how Pleasant Password Server will enhance KeePass for business

Integrating with Active Directory / LDAP server allows Password Server to use the same users and security groups that your organization is already familiar with, and has previously configured in your User Directory.

Summary: This integration is powerful and allows new users to have password access, based on existing security groups, at the time they first sign-in.

Administrators will configure who can login to Password Server, by simply setting up a LDAP/AD Security Group for Password Server Users. Then when any of these users attempt to login, all of the following items can happen automatically:

Their user credentials are verified on the AD/LDAP server
Their account gets created in Password Server
Their roles in Password Server are synced with the same security groups from AD/LDAP,
The user has access to only the passwords they need.

Here is a basic overview of setting up a connection to your Active Directory / LDAP directory.

Step 1: Create a Directory Connection

- Configure the connection user
- Configure the options
- Configure the scope of the connection
  - Option A) Set the Base Distinguished Name

Step 2: Import the Security Groups
