The Collibra Console administrator can integrate Collibra Data Intelligence Platform with your company's LDAP servers. This administrator can synchronize user data as well as group-related information. When LDAP is configured, authentication (credential checking) is done directly on the LDAP server(s).
To synchronize with an LDAP server, the LDAP fields have to be mapped to the corresponding Collibra fields and the LDAP server has to be configured correctly.
All the fields that are mapped to an LDAP user attribute are read only in Collibra. You cannot change them in the UI.
You can recognize LDAP users
- by the LDAP column in the user table.
- on the user's profile page.
- in the user table, by the absent
(reset password) and 
/
(enabled/disabled) user icons.
In the next sections, you can find how to use LDAP in Collibra.
