Windows

For Windows users, Faddom is automatically bound to Active Directory. To access Faddom, Roles should be defined in Faddom with the name matching that of the LDAP group. See How To Setup User Access to do this

Linux

By default, you will use the local Administrator user and other local users for access. To use LDAP, you can follow the procedure below to set it up.

LDAP for authentication can be used alongside SSO setup. For this, please see our separate guide How to Connect Faddom to SSO

Prerequisites

  1. Faddom Roles should be defined with the name matching that of the LDAP group. See How To Setup User Access to do this

  2. At least one LDAP user should be defined locally with the built-in Administrator role to ensure access should the LDAP connection not work.

  3. Navigate to Settings > Access Control > Identity Providers and select LDAP

  4. If you have configured a domain for User Discovery it will be listed here; otherwise, you will be asked to set up a domain controller.
    Note Unlike User Discovery, this does not need a proxy configured.

  5. Once configured, you will be asked to configure the authentication

    1. Name - the display name to be shown in the Faddom UI

    2. Domain - the domain you wish to use for authentication

    3. User Base - the set of users in your LDAP domain to be used for authentication

  6. Click on Add and once it is succesfully configured, you will see it in the list and you can toggle it on or off depending on need.
