LDAP Connector APIs

Overview

This API has been available since 1.18.0

The following APIs are provided to manage LDAP Connectors.

Operations

Create the LDAP Connector

Request

Create a LDAP Connector with a randomly generated Id.

URI

POST /api/connector

Create a LDAP Connector with the provided unique Id.

URI

POST /api/connector/{connectorId}

The type in the request JSON is used to determine that you are creating a LDAP Connector.

Request Parameters

connectorId [UUID] Optional defaults to secure random UUID

The Id to use for the new Connector. If not specified a secure random UUID will be generated.

Request Body

connector.authenticationURL [String] Required

The fully qualified LDAP URL to authenticate.

connector.baseStructure [String] Required

The LDAP security method. Possible values are:

  • None - Requests will be made without encryption.

  • LDAPS - A secure connection will be made to a secure port over using the LDAPS protocol.

  • StartTLS - An un-secured connection will initially be established, followed by secure connection established using the StartTLS extension.

connector.systemAccountDN [String] Required

The distinguished name of an entry that has read access to the directory.

connector.systemAccountPassword [String] Required

The password of an entry that has read access to the directory.

Update the LDAP Connector

Request

Update the LDAP Connector by Id

URI

PUT /api/connector/{connectorId}

PATCH /api/connector/{connectorId}

Available since 1.12.0

When using the PATCH method, use the same request body documentation that is provided for the PUT request. The PATCH method will merge the provided request parameters into the existing object, this means all parameters are optional when using the PATCH method and you only provide the values you want changed. A null value can be used to remove a value. Patching an Array will result in all values from the new list being appended to the existing list, this is a known limitation to the current implementation of PATCH.
