Active Directory Integration - LDAP or Azure

[TanmeyTWX]

Hi Folks,

Whether LDAP or Azure AD will be faster to integrate considering minimum configurations on the Thingworx platform end.

Please share if any guide or steps are already there to achieve the same.

Please see if you can do it with 'Directory Services' that would be the quickest way I think.

Yes Pai, I am also thinking to use Directory services- LDAP option only. But need to check the directory system at other end first if a LDAP connection will work or need to have SSO as well. I will post the decision here once done.

Thanks!

Hi @PaiChung,

I was able to integrate LDAP using Apache Directory for POC purpose but the customer is using Azure AD for user authentication .Is there any guide to integrate Azure AD with Thingworx or a connector extension available ?

TIA.

I believe Azure AD should also be able to be mapped using the 'Directory Services'
