Configuring Both vIDM and LDAP or Transitioning from vIDM to LDAP

If you have configured vIDM as the authentication server, you can add LDAP as an additional authentication server. You can also disable vIDM and use LDAP exclusively.

To configure vIDM integration, see Integration with VMware Identity Manager/Workspace ONE Access. To configure LDAP integration, see Integration with LDAP.

If you have both vIDM and LDAP integration configured, the URL for the login page for vIDM users is https://<nsx-manager-ip-address>. Users will be redirected to the vIDM login page. The URL for the login page for LDAP users is https://<nsx-manager-ip-address>/login.jsp?local=true and the login name must be in the format user_name@domain_name.

If you only have LDAP integration configured, the URL for the login page for vIDM users is https://<nsx-manager-ip-address> and the login name must be in the format user_name@domain_name.

If you have vIDM integration configured and want to transition to using LDAP only, first configure LDAP integration. The AD servers must be the same as the AD servers used in vIDM. Then disable vIDM on the vIDM configuration page. The roles, users, and role assignments created in vIDM will exist in LDAP.
