Creating LDAP Containers

You must create at least one LDAP container from which resources can be selected and mapped to groups or positions in the organization model.

For each LDAP container that you create, you must specify an LDAP source (which equates to an LDAP server) from which resources are obtained. You must specify one primary LDAP source, and you can additionally specify one or more secondary LDAP sources, for each LDAP container you create. For more information, see Primary and Secondary Sources.

Plus, the procedure you use to create an LDAP container differs, depending on whether the LDAP source is an LDAP query source or an LDAP group source. For information about the differences, see LDAP Query Sources and LDAP Group Sources.

See the following procedures for creating a primary/secondary LDAP container using an LDAP query/group source:
