Creating LDAP roles

Lightweight Directory Access Protocols (LDAP) can store hierarchical data definitions across platforms. LDAP is most often used to store user credentials across many applications. Create LDAP roles for automatic user creation.

Note: If LDAP authentication is enabled, Call Center module log ins are authenticated by Infor EAM and LDAP settings are ignored.

  1. Select Administration > Security > Role Setup.
  2. Click New Record.
  3. Specify this information:

    Enter a unique code identifying the role, and then enter a description of the role in the adjacent field.
