How to create LDAP users?
Firstly, you need to know that an LDAP user is created from the user interface phpldapmy admin. This
interface is accessible when you have fully deployed the OpenLDAP application, so if you have not done
so already , You have you to deploy OpenLDAP from our platform. After deploying the application you can
easily create LDAP users . Carefully follow the steps of this tutorial.
Step 1 of 3 : Go to the console interface to access the url
of
your phpldapmyadmin page.
When you have deployed the OpenLDAP application, parameters have been assigned to you among other
URL. It is this url that will direct you to the phpldapmyadmin interface on which you will create LDAP users.
Go to https://www.acesy.net ,you will be directed to the next homepage

create Object. Commit the group by clicking Commit in the next window.
