Connects a specific LDAP entry to the LDAP or Activity Directory server.
This step performs an LDAP bind operation to authenticate an LDAP entry to an external LDAP or Active Directory server. Other journey steps may be used to add entries, delete entries, modify entries, modify passwords of entries, or search entries.
You can specify the LDAP by selecting either an LDAP connection or Active Directory connection. The LDAP entry to bind is identified by the specified DN (distinguished name), and authenticated using the password specified using an expression.
If the step is successfully completed, the journey continues to the next step, and result data is outputted to a specified variable (if configured).
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| LDAP Provider | The LDAP connection or Active Directory connection to use |
| DN | Distinguished name (DN) that uniquely identifies an entry and describes its position in the database. For example: CN=Groups,OU=useast,DC=yourorg,DC=com |
| Output Variable | Name of the variable used to store the result data created by this step. This data represents the LDAP response. |
| Password | Expression that yields the password used to bind the LDAP entry. |
The output variable stores the step response object with the following structure:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
is_successful | Boolean. LDAP response which includes the status of the step (success or failure). |
result_code | Number. LDAP response which includes a numeric result code to categorize the reason for the success or failure. |
error_message | String. LDAP response message that is included with the result code. |
