Adding user directory connector

A user directory connector (UDC) connects to a directory service to retrieve users.

Follow the procedure below to add a user directory connector.

Do the following:

1. Select User directory connectors from the QMC Start page.

   The User directory connectors page is displayed.

2. Click Create new.

   A popup menu is displayed.

3. Select the appropriate user directory connector from the popup menu.

   Information noteIn this example ODBC was selected.

   The User directory connector edit page is displayed.

4. Give the User directory connector a name. The Name field is mandatory.

5. With User sync settings selected in the panel on the right side, check or uncheck Sync only existing users that decides how the synchronization will be performed:

   • If the check box is checked, only the existing users will be synchronized. An existing user is a user that has logged in to Qlik Sense and/or been previously synchronized from the configured directory service.

   • If the check box is unchecked, all users, defined by the properties for the user directory connector, will be synchronized from the configured directory service.

     Tip noteUncheck Sync only existing users if you wish to retrieve all users. You can create additional LDAP filters for certain types of user directory connectors. Use the Qlik Management Console (QMC) help to learn how to.

6. Make sure Connection is selected and define the applicable fields.

7. Click Apply.

   The user directory is successfully added.

8. Click User directory connectors.

   The User directory connectors overview page is displayed showing the existing connectors.

9. Make sure the directory you just added is selected and then click Sync.

   The user directory is synchronized and the users are now available from the Users page.

You have now added a user directory connector and synchronized the users from the configured directory service.
