What rights does the IGEL UMS Active Directory / LDAP Service require?


Question regarding the Active Directory / LDAP Service configuration in UMS. Does the user name in the configuration need to be a domain admin? Unfortunately I am using my own admin account which is a major non best practice. I wanted to use like a service account or something. Anyone have any ideas?

No, a normal Service Account with AD Read rights is sufficient!


I did it with a normal domain member (nogroups) works just fine. Just give it a proper mean PW 😉


ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! That is one of the things I harp about when I do AD Health Checks/Assessments. NO service account should have DA rights. To do LDAP Queries, all you need is an account that is a member of Domain Users and has a very secure password.


Agreed. This is just what I did. Thank you all for replies. The community is so awesome.
