- Follow the instructions in Add new users (P6 Professional Only) to add a new user (in Native mode) that exactly matches an LDAP server user with rights to read the LDAP directory. Make sure to assign a global profile that contains privileges to add new users and search the LDAP directory, and assign the appropriate project profiles and module access. The Admin Super profile has all appropriate privileges.
- Log back into the Administration Configuration Tool.
- From the LDAP Configuration tab select True for Enable LDAP Authentication.
- Log into P6 Professional as the LDAP user created in step 1.
- Choose Admin, Users.
- Click Add, the Import Domain Users dialog box will appear:
- Either click the Load LDIF button, or enter an LDAP query under LDAP User Search Criteria (for example, UID=* or samaccountname=*).
- If you clicked the Load LDIP button, browse to the location of the LDIF file, and click Open. If you entered an LDAP query, click Search.
- A list of users will appear, grouped by category. For example, LDAP repository users that do not exactly match P6 Professional users will be grouped together. If users exist in the LDAP repository, the Login Name, Personal Name, User EMail Address, and Office Phone fields are populated based on the field mappings in the LDAP configuration settings.
- Select the Import option next to each Login Name that you with to import. New or modified users are automatically selected.
- Click Import Users.
- Click Close in the Users dialog box.
Notes:
- You must have the Add/Edit/Delete Users privilege and the Provision Users from LDAP privilege to search the LDAP directory. You do not need the Provision Users from LDAP privilege to import users from the LDIF file.
- The new users will be assigned the default global profile.
Tip
When you provision users, changed records are updated in the P6 Professional database and new users are added. However, users that have been deleted from the LDAP directory or LDIF file are not automatically removed from the P6 Professional database. You will need to manually delete these users.
