Integrating an Account with an LDAP Server (Beta)

If your organization utilized an LDAP server, you can sync the users in your active directory with PhishingBox.

LDAP configurations vary from organization to organization, so you may have to consult with your organization's Information Technology team to configure an LDAP user with the proper read permissions and set the LDAP server's security configuration to allow PhishingBox to connect.

Integrating with LDAP

To get started integrating an account with an LDAP server, navigate to  Administration > Integration Store in the PhishingBox portal.

Under the card containing the LDAP logo, click the 'Setup' button.

This will open the LDAP configuration form. You will need the following information to connect to the LDAP server:

• The server's IP address or domain.
• An open port with which to connect to the server (389 default).
• An LDAP username and password that has permission to read the directory.
• The base DN of the server.
• The type of security protocol used to connect to the server.
• The directory type.

If you want to sync to commence immediately after saving, set the 'Active' switch to 'Yes'.

After completing the form, choose whether you would like to sync by the server's groups, organizational units (OUs), or all users on the server (Base). Click the 'Test' button to connect to the server. If a successful connection is made and you chose to sync by group or OU, the server's groups or OUs will be displayed in a multi-select menu. Select the groups or OU's you wish to sync, then click 'Save' to save the configuration. If you chose to sync by base, no groups or OUs will need to be selected.

• NOTE: Make sure you select the correct sync type before saving! After saving, you will have to contact support to reconfigure the sync.

If the 'Active' switch is set to 'Yes' the sync will commence immediately. One PhishingBox group will be created for every group or OU you chose to sync having the same name and containing all the users from the respective group or OU. If you chose to sync by Base, a single group will be created containing all users in the LDAP server named "Base".

If you did not set the 'Active' switch to 'Yes', commence the sync by clicking the 'Run Sync' link, located in the integration card's dropdown menu.
