OpenLDAP service

• Back to System main section

Artica provides a management interface to monitor, manage, and backup an LDAP service.
The OpenLDAP service enables Artica to use a database of user accounts.

These user accounts can be used to identify users on the Web console, but also to authenticate users with services that ensure user verification, such as the Proxy service or SMTP relay.

OpenLDAP management can be displayed using the left menu “Databases/LDAP server”

• Install the OpenLDAP database feature
  The OpenLDAP database inside Artica allows you to provide a user authentication method for the HTTP Proxy, the Artica Web console access and the HotSpot service
   
• OpenLDAP REST API
  If you want to manage users through the REST API, this document allows you to send API commands to manage user accounts.
   
• LDAP Windows console
  A Windows program for the help-desk: search, create, edit and delete directory accounts, and exchange CSV files with Excel, with a certificate that opens the directory only.
   

Backup / Restore

• How to restore an external OpenLDAP backup ?
  If you have downloaded the backup from an Artica server, you can restore the database. 
   

• InstantLDAPBackup
  InstantLDAPBackup is a backup operation that takes place each time the OpenLDAP service is shut down. 
  This backup is used to restore data in the event of corruption.

   

Cluster

• OpenLDAP Replication/cluster service
  This architecture is very useful when you have several Artica servers using the OpenLDAP service and you want to automatically update the elements of a database.
