5.4 Using an LDAP directory as the primary data source

If you want to use an LDAP directory as the primary data source, you need to make some changes to the configuration:

1. Select the Configuration category and then the Operation Settings workflow.
2. Click the LDAP tab.

3. Change the setting for Search a Directory to either Yes or Ask.

   Note: If this option is set to Yes, you cannot search the MyID database using, for example, the View Person workflow. If you want to be able to search the MyID database, set this option to Ask or No.

4. Click Save changes.

To prevent people adding people directly to the MyID database, remove access to the Add Person workflow. For instructions, see section 4.1.1, Change an existing role.

Log out of MyID and log on again to see the changes.
