To get SSO set up with LDAP, you'll want to start by making sure your LDAP server is properly configured and accessible. I usually check connectivity first; if I can connect from my application server to the LDAP server without issues, that's a good sign.
Next, you'll need to define the authentication method in your application or identity provider. You should specify the LDAP server details, including the URL, base DN, and any custom search filters if needed. If you're using something like Keycloak or an application that supports LDAP integration, there's usually a place in the settings to input this info.
Next, setting up user group synchronization can really simplify things for you. You can often specify which users or groups have access to your application, helping to streamline permissions and keep things tidy.
You'll want to ensure that secure connections are enabled. Using SSL/TLS to encrypt the traffic between your SSO and LDAP is just smart practice, right? Check if your application provides options for that. It might require you to install certificates, so keep an eye on that aspect.
Once everything is configured, testing your setup comes next. Try logging in with a user account, and see how it goes. If there are issues, check logs, both in your application and in the LDAP server, for clues.
