About using LDAP

Integrating Studio with Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) allows users to sign in to Studio using their existing LDAP user accounts, rather than creating separate user accounts from within Studio. LDAP is also used when integrating with a single sign-on (SSO) system.

You can integrate Studio with one LDAP directory but not multiple LDAP directories.

Users in LDAP must be contained in LDAP groups for Studio to properly map roles and permissions.

You can set up mixed authentication systems with both LDAP and manually created Studio users. In such a scenario, Studio pulls users and groups from an LDAP directory, and you can supplement those LDAP users with additional Studio users that you create.

If Studio uses LDAP for user management, you are notified in a blue banner across the Password Policies page. In this scenario, Studio relies entirely on the LDAP system for user names, passwords, syntax checking, minimum length settings, and so on. The settings on the Password Policies page do not apply to your LDAP users. However, if you create users directly in Studio, you can modify some basic settings about the password configuration on the Password Policies page.
