To allow the LDAP users to log into vRealize Network Insight, you must configure the LDAP service in the vRealize Network Insight platform.

Note: vRealize Network Insight supports the LDAP and LDAPS protocols.

Prerequisites

You must have the Administrator privilege.

Procedure

  1. Log in to vRealize Network Insight and click Settings.
  2. Under Identity & Access Management, select LDAP.
  3. Click Configure.
  4. Provide the following information.
    Field Description
    Domain Enter the domain name. This is typically the last part of the user email address after the '@' sign. Example: For a user logging in as [email protected], this field is example.com
