- Enabling the LDAP User-Defined Logon in PROIV Administrator

Enabling the LDAP User-Defined Logon in PROIV Administrator

It is important to note that @UserDefinedLogon and @UserDefinedLogonLDAP do not form part of the PROIV Administrator distribution. You must import a version of the @UserDefinedLogon into the PROIV Administrator environment and the PROIV LOGON Function is automatically configured to use it. The User-Defined Logon functionality must be enabled via the User-Defined Logon Configuration window, which is accessible from the Configuration tab. To use the LDAP functionality, you must ensure that the @UserDefinedLogon is an LDAP version, this is achieved by using PROIV Developer to rename the @UserDefinedLogon function, and then rename or copy @UserDefinedLogonLDAP to @UserDefinedLogon, or by writing your own LDAP logon function.

To enable the LDAP User-Defined Logon window for use during the logon process in PROIV Administrator:

Run PROIV in PROIV Administrator runtime mode.
On the main screen, select the Configuration tab on left hand side.
Click the User-Defined Logon icon.
The User-Defined Logon Configuration window appears.
On the General tab, select the Enable the User-Defined Logon Screen check box.
Click OK to close the User-Defined Logon Configuration window.
The @UserDefinedLogon Screen function with LDAP authentication is now used during the logon process.

Enable the User-Defined Logon Screen	Select the check box to display the User-Defined Logon window at logon instead of the PROIV Logon window. Enabling this screen turns on the LDAP support, which facilitates the connection and authentication with an LDAP server.
Enable PROIV Password Validation	Select the check box to turn on PROIV password validation during the logon process. This checks the password held against the PROIV Logon ID and if the validation is successful, the logon occurs, if it is invalid, an error message appears.
LDAP Tab
LDAP Server Connection and Authentication	This section enables you to configure and test the LDAP connection server details, set up the authentication type and to enable automatic logon if user name mappings are unique.

A connection is attempted to the LDAP server configured in the URL field and a message appears indicating a successful or unsuccessful connection.

An unsuccessful logon attempt is reported with a 'The LDAP server connection or authentication has failed.' message.
Automatic Logon if the Mapping is Unique	Select the check box to ensure that when there is one Co/Div (Company and Division) and PROIV User ID mapped to an LDAP user name, automatic logon occurs and the Select the PROIV User window is not displayed.
