What is it

Integration of the CIT LDAP Service allows authentication and authorization of users through the central msg user database (e.g. for controlling access to Atlassian tools). This way

• your project members can authenticate with their individual Windows credentials
• you can use group memberships of your users to authorize actions.

Prerequisites

To access CIT LDAP Server you need a read only user. If not provided yet please request it from ZI.

How to achieve it

You then access the CIT LDAP server from msg.Cloud systems using

• Hostname: ldap.msg.systems
• Port: 389

(This is a plain unencrypted access, i.e. do not use encryption settings like STARTTLS od LDAPS. An encrypted connection is not mandatory in this case because your SCA talks to the msg LDAP server through a secured VPN tunnel.)

Good to know

• This service is reachable from CIT and msg.Cloud subnets. The service is not available outside of the msg corporate network.

•  Should you nevertheless want to use a SSL connection then use port 636 instead and choose LDAPS (LDAP-over-TCP-over-SSL/TLS) as protocol.
