LDAP synchronization

Synchronization is the process of importing all LDAP data in Collibra Data Intelligence Platform.

Users can be synchronized in the following ways:

  • Automatically: You can configure a CRON job to synchronize the Collibra users with your LDAP.
  • Manually: You can synchronize LDAP manually.

Individual user data is synchronized every time a user signs in to Collibra. If the user is authenticated through LDAP, the user data is synchronized with Collibra. If the product identifies the user as deleted from the LDAP server, the user is disabled in Collibra and access is denied.

Tip To set up the LDAP connection correctly, ensure that you know how your LDAP servers work and how they are structured, or ask your LDAP IT team for help
