Before manually adding an LDAP server, it is important that you are familiar with search bases, object classes, and attributes.

  1. In Jamf Pro, click Settings in the sidebar.
  2. In the System section, click LDAP servers .
  3. Click New.
  4. Select Configure Manually and click Next.
  5. Use the Connection tab to configure how Jamf Pro connects to the LDAP server.
    1. Click the Directory Service pop up menu and select the Display Name that matches the name of the Active Directory domain or domain controller server for easy identification.
    2. Set Directory Service to "Microsoft's Active Directory".
    3. Set Server to the Active Directory domain name.
    4. Configure Server and Port with the following settings:

      • Enter the Active Directory domain name

      • For an unencrypted connection, enter: 389

      • For an SSL encrypted connection, enter: 636. If you are using an SSL connection, update either the root CA certificate for the Active Directory domain or the Jamf Pro server's certificate signed by the root CA certificate.

    5. Select Enable LDAP Proxy Server and choose the server already enrolled in Jamf Pro and enter the port number allowing internet traffic to Jamf Infrastructure Manager.
    6. Set Authentication Type to Simple.
    7. Set Distinguished Username to the distinguished name of the service account and enter its password.
  6. Use the Mappings tab to specify object class, search base data, and map attributes.
    Note:

    To map Jamf Pro buildings and departments to a directory value, the corresponding building or department values must first be manually created in Jamf Pro. For more information, see Buildings and Departments.
