This stand-alone application collects information from a single LDAP Directory in order to automatically synchronize the persons and the users in iTop.

This extension is actually provided through iTop Hub, the platform that centralizes all the required resources to optimize your iTop.

Features

Main functions:

  • Automatic creation and update of Persons and Users in iTop based on LDAP data.
  • Automatic assignment of Profiles to Users based on LDAP groups (this is optional).

Technical aspects:

  • The collector can reside on any system with web access to iTop and LDAP access to the LDAP Directory
  • The collector is compatible with Windows Active Directory
  • The definition of the mapping between LDAP fields and iTop fields is fully configurable.
  • The creation of the Synchronization Data Sources in iTop is fully automated.
  • Starting with version 1.2.6, support of pagination for retrieving large sets of items when the LDAP server enforces a limit to the search results.

Limitations

  • The current version is synchronizing neither the Organizations nor the Locations.
  • The location of person and the manager of a person are not synchronized.
  • One collector is collecting data from one single LDAP directory instance only.
  • Date format of the source data must be YYYY-MM-DD (hh:mm:ss)
  • Support of pagination requires PHP 7.3.0 or newer.

Full documentation

Comprehensive documentation on that extension is available here, on iTop Hub.
