Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)

Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is a vendor-neutral software protocol used to lookup information or devices within a network. Bytebase supports using LDAP for configuring Single Sign-On (SSO).

Configuration

Basic information:

• Name: the display name shown to your users (e.g. JumpCloud)
• Identity Provider ID: a human-readable unique string, only lower-case alphabets and hyphens are allowed (e.g. jumpcloud)
• Domain: the domain name to scope associated users (e.g. jumpcloud.com, optional)

Identity provider information:

• Host: the host of LDAP server (e.g. ldap.jumpcloud.com)
• Port: the port number of the LDAP server, usually 389 for StartTLS and 636 for LDAPS
• Bind DN: the Distinguished Name (DN) of the user to bind as a service account to perform search requests (e.g. uid=system,ou=Users,dc=jumpcloud,dc=com)
• Bind Password: the password of the user to bind as a service account
• Base DN: the base Distinguished Name (DN) to search for users (e.g. ou=users,dc=jumpcloud,dc=com)
• User Filter: the filter to search for users (e.g. (uid=%s), where %s will be subsituted by the username)
• Security protocol: the security protocol to be used for establishing connections with the LDAP server

User information field mapping:

• Email: the attribute to be used as the Bytebase user email address (e.g. mail)
• Display name: the attribute to be used as the Bytebase user display name (e.g. displayName, optional)
• Phone: the attribute to be used as the Bytebase user phone number (e.g. phone, optional)

JumpCloud

• The attribute uid is the username (e.g. system) not the email (e.g. [email protected]) in JumpCloud.

1. Follow the JumpCloud Use Cloud LDAP to create an LDAP binding user and add Users to the LDAP directory.
2. In Bytebase, go to Settings > SSO to create a new LDAP provider (all values are examples):
   • Name: JumpCloud
   • Identity Provider ID: jumpcloud
   • Domain: jumpcloud.com
   • Host: ldap.jumpcloud.com
   • Port: 389
   • Bind DN: uid=YOUR_USERNAME,ou=Users,o=YOUR_ORG_DN,dc=jumpcloud,dc=com
   • Bind Password: YOUR_PASSWORD
   • Base DN: ou=Users,o=YOUR_ORG_NAME,dc=jumpcloud,dc=com
   • User Filter: (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%s))
   • Security protocol StartTLS
   • Email: mail
   • Display name: displayName

Okta

The attribute uid is the username (e.g. system) not the email (e.g. [email protected]) in Okta.

1. Follow the Okta Enable the LDAP interface to enable LDAP interface for your directory.
2. In Bytebase, go to Settings > SSO to create a new LDAP provider (all values are examples):
   • Name: Okta
   • Identity Provider ID: okta
   • Domain: okta.com
   • Host: YOUR_SUBDOMAIN.ldap.okta.com
   • Port: 389
   • Bind DN: uid=YOUR_USERNAME,ou=users,dc=YOUR_SUBDOMAIN,dc=okta,dc=com
   • Bind Password: YOUR_PASSWORD
   • Base DN: ou=users,dc=YOUR_SUBDOMAIN,dc=okta,dc=com
   • User Filter: (&(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)(uid=%s))
   • Security protocol StartTLS
   • Email: mail
   • Display name: cn
