Problem
When using LDAP with Dashboard, are the LDAP credentials stored in the Dashboard database?
Ā
Solution
No, the LDAP credentials are not stored in the Dashboard database. When Dashboard creates the LDAP user, Dashboard generates a random fake password to put into the password field. Dashboard performs LDAP user authentication by querying the LDAP server.
LDAP/AD roles and user properties such as firstname, lastname and email will be imported. If the user doesn't exist in CCPD, the username will be created on login and granted with a basic user role (ROLE_USER) by default along with LDAP Roles. For additional information on Dashboard LDAP integration, see this section of the documentation.
