Feature Request : Enable LDAP via Forms to accept multiple "base distinguished name" for

Forms Ideas

Updated May 6, 2015

asked on March 27, 2014

We currently have a customer with a unique LDAP setup that is looking to implement this feature.

They currently have users across multiple Organizational Units that needs to be added as participants. Due to policies, users LDAP accounts need to have their password changed quarterly. By using LDAP to add users, this would streamline the password updating process for individual accounts to access Forms. This has been discussed with Laserfiche Support, and they have suggested that we post it as a request feature here.

We have a great need for this. We have principals underneath sub OU's of the main Users OU. In order to get access to all of the Principal users, we have to have the Base Distinguished Name point to the Users OU. The only problem is that there are over 3200 objects in it.

Eric, is there any update on this feature request? Will it be implemented? If so, will it be in the near future? I have 60 Participant licenses to assign and it is next to impossible right now using LDAP because of how many users are being brought in (3200+).

Abby, is there anything in the works to help get around this problem before that update? It literally takes me 10-15 minutes to assign 1 Participant User license.

Hi there,

You can batch import Participant users through Excel, .using script to auto generate .csv content. Will this help solve your problem?

Hello

We have this issue as well. We have to add around 2000 participant users and it took me over 10 minutes to add one user.

I am open to the batch import mechanism but can we use that for LDAP (Active Directory) users as well?

For us it would work if we could just specify our own LDAP Query. Our students all have different domains for their email addresses, so if we could exclude accounts that have an email address that matches that domain, it would make a world of difference. For example, if we had an LDAP Query or Filter field on the LDAP configuration popup where we could put in (mail=*domain), that would take our returned results from 10,875 to 1,405.

This is a beneficial feature request since forms users could be widespread across multiple departments Enabling LDAP on the parent OU would work, but that could cause issues with Forms not being able to handle the entire list of entries if there are thousands of them.
