LDAP Sign-On Method

Select the LDAP sign-on method to log in using LDAP credentials. The system will map the LDAP username to a specific user in TRAX. The LDAP functionality connects the user's username with their PC's domain name and other technical specifications. When selected, the user will not enter their TRAX/eMRO username and password but their domain's login username (e.g., 'firstname.lastname') and password.

The LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) Sign-On Method is an additional security verification that tracks users by using an interface function that calls upon an LDAP database. This database authenticates if a user is valid.

The LDAP Configuration File button is an Interface related functionality. For additional information, refer to your TRAX interface department.

Note: The character limit for the Username field has been increased to 150 characters for the LDAP Sign-On Method.

The file will have the following format:

Edit the file so it points to your company’s LDAP host, port, domain, etc.
