User authentication in LDAP mode

When the LDAP mode is enabled, you can organize user accounts in LDAP groups and associate the groups with a role or a set of roles in KCM Designer.

To enable the mode for KCM Designer, follow the procedure described in the Starting Contract Manager section in the Kofax Communications Manager Installation Guide.

  • When the LDAP mode is enabled, you cannot create or modify user accounts.

  • When you switch from the non-LDAP to LDAP mode, ensure that no objects that are not shown in KCM Designer for Windows, such as Libraries or Resources, are left with status [in development]. In the LDAP mode, you cannot break lock on such objects.

  • The Authorization tab in the Configuration window is not available in the LDAP mode.
