Most organizations store users in a directory service. FlowWright provides connectors to synchronize users from the directory service into FlowWright. FlowWright includes user connectors for “Active Directory, LDAP, and OLEDB”.

Navigate to the Administration > User Management page. 

Select the User Management > User Connectors menu.  

The Manage User Connectors UI page is rendered as shown in the example below. 

Each user connector type requires specific directory service configuration details. User connectors will not synchronize disabled users.

Create a user connector.

You can create new connectors for the OLEDB, Active Directory, and LDAP connector types. 

Select the “Actions > Create” menu. 

Each user connector type requires specific configuration details for the directory service. The OLE DB dialog shows the configuration fields as follows.

Select the connector type from the drop-down list (OLEDB, LDAP, Active Directory). Provide the connector display name. Enter the SQL connection string to connect to the FlowWright database and fetch users from the “deUsers” table. Include the WHERE condition clause if necessary. Specify the external username and the full name column names. Provide the user email column name. Choose the frequency period (daily, one-time, days). Select the time zone from the drop-down list. Add the time to run this connector batch job. You can add more than one value for a one-time run. Check the enabled checkbox. 

Click the “Create” button. The new user connector appears in the list, and a confirmation message appears in the top-right corner. 

The Active Directory dialog configuration fields are included here for reference.  

The LDAP dialog configuration fields are included here for reference. Provide the display name, Path, Username, password, external username, email, and additional fields to map user details to Active Directory fields. Select the checkboxes to synchronize users and group members. Configure the sync duration, time zone, and sync time.   

Edit the user connector.

User connectors can be modified by selecting one from the table and clicking the “Actions > Edit” menu item. 

The user connector configuration will appear in a pop-up window. To confirm the changes, click the “Update” button. 

Remove the user connector.

You can remove user connectors by selecting them from the table and clicking the “Actions > Remove” menu option. 

A confirmation pop-up window appears. Click OK to confirm. The user connector is removed, and the confirmation message appears in the top-right corner. 

Enable/Disable User Connector.

This function activates or deactivates the user connector for a specific period.
