The LDIF connector for Elimity Insights imports users, groups and computers from a LDIF file so you can keep in control of your environment.

Follow the instructions below to set up the connector for your environment.

How it works

• Elimity Insights imports users, groups and computers from a LDIF file.
• Write Elimity Insights queries to review and monitor updates to the data, or leverage existing queries.
• Configure these stored queries to take action when the Elimity Insights data changes.

Integration requirements

Setting up a LDIF source in Elimity Insights requires:

• an LDIF file to import from,
• a user in Elimity Insights with the role Connector Admin or higher.

Integration instructions

Follow the following steps to set up a LDIF source in Elimity Insights:

1. Log in on your PC that has access to the LDAP/AD host machine.
   
   
2. Open an administrator command prompt (click ‘Start’, right-click ‘Command Prompt’, and then click ‘Run as administrator’).
   
   
3. Make the export: ldifde -f <FileName> -s <Server>, for example:

   ldifde -f output.ldf -s adserver1.yourdomain.com

   
   
4. Upload the resulting file to Elimity Insights.

Changelog

v3.18.0

• Fixed small typos in the connector descriptions.
• Aligned out-of-the-box controls with the Active Directory built-in connector.

v3.19.0

• Archived the 'Active' attribute, since there is no such property in Active Directory.

v3.21.0

• Added new 'group scope', 'group type' and 'parents' attributes for groups.
• Added a new 'foreign security principal' entity type.

v3.22.0

• The security identifiers of users, groups and computers now determine unique identity, instead of distinguished names. This will add a large list of changes to existing query history once, but avoids removal and recreation of entities that merely moved between organizational units (which affects their distinguished name).

v3.27.0

• This update includes support for importing password expiry information. LDIF users now have a new 'Password Never Expires' attribute.

v3.28.0

• The connector now imports e-mails and names for managers of LDIF users.
• This update also adds a 'Last Login Timestamp' attribute for LDIF computers and users.
• LDIF groups can now also contain LDIF computers.

v3.29.0

• This update includes support for importing workstation information. LDIF users and computers now have a new 'Workstations' attribute.
