Managing LDAP Accounts
LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is an Internet protocol that some applications use to look up
information — such as account information, user names, and groups — from a server. The LDAP Sync tool allows
ISIS administrators to synchronize ISIS user accounts with existing LDAP user accounts and to create and/or
modify a large number of users and groups within the Avid ISIS system. The LDAP Sync tool lets you:
• Display user accounts available within a given LDAP service but not in the ISIS system, and vice versa
• Add new groups and users to the ISIS system
• Grant user memberships to groups
• Remove user membership from a group in ISIS if user no longer belongs to that group on the LDAP server
• Users synchronized by the LDAP Sync tool will automatically be added as “Remote” users for authentication to
the LDAP server
You can use the LDAP Sync Tool to search for groups and their users on an LDAP server, synchronize users and
groups accounts by adding or removing users and/or groups from ISIS, generate a report of the account actions, and
view a history of the synchronization activity. You must first configure a connection by entering the LDAP server’s
fully qualified name, port, and user distinguished name and password for authentication.

Users imported by the LDAP Sync Tool cannot log into Avid ISIS server until it is configured for external
authentication. For more information about configuring external authentication, see “Configuring External
Authentication” on page 30.
