LDAP Settings

Introduction

After successfully integrating your Lucy server with your LDAP server, the next step is to fine-tune the LDAP preferences within Lucy.

You can only associate one LDAP preference for a single LDAP server listed

Navigate to Settings -> Common System Settings -> LDAP Settings

Select "Add New LDAP Preferences"

On the next page, enable "Autoupdate LDAP users"

Name

Add a name for your specific LDAP preference.

Client

Associate this preference with a specific client to ensure data segregation among multiple clients.

LDAP Server

Select the specific LDAP server you have configured in LDAP Servers.

Action for New Users

• Automatically add to bounded campaigns: When new users are detected in the LDAP server, they are automatically added to pre-defined campaigns within Lucy. This ensures new users are immediately included in ongoing training or phishing simulation campaigns.

• Waiting for administrator's decision: When new users are added to the LDAP directory, Lucy will not automatically take any action. Instead, an administrator must manually decide to approve the new user to be added to the relevant campaigns. The approval of Recipients/Users is collected on the Recipient/User control list - see the below table "LDAP Preferences Continued" as a reference.

• Automatically add to bounded campaigns and schedule plan: When new users are detected in the LDAP server, Lucy may be configured to automatically update the campaigns and schedule plans associated with that user group.

Action for Deleted Users

1. Automatically Delete Inactive: If this option is selected, Lucy will automatically remove user accounts that are no longer active in the LDAP directory. This ensures that Lucy's user database is current and that inactive users do not remain part of ongoing campaigns or receive notifications.

2. Waiting for Administrator's decision: If this option is selected when a user is deleted from the LDAP directory, Lucy will not immediately take any action. Instead, the system will flag the user for review, and an administrator will need to decide on the appropriate action, such as whether to delete the user from Lucy or perhaps keep them in the database for reporting or historical purposes. The approval of Recipients/Users is collected on the Recipient/User control list - see the below table "LDAP Preferences Continued" as a reference.

Importing

Lucy permits administrators to configure LDAP preferences for individual or multiple user groups by activating the required "roles" selection option. For instance, to configure the preference for automatically importing users with the Enduser role, you would select the "Import Enduser role" option and specify the necessary parameters for the LDAP filter parameters:

This process can be repeated for all other "Role" importation options.

LDAP Preferences Continued

After defining your LDAP preferences, if you return to the settings by navigating to Settings -> Common System Settings -> LDAP Preferences, you will find four selectable actions available to you:

Import Users From LDAP

This tab enables you to manually filter and import your chosen users from LDAP, effectively overriding the pre-set LDAP preferences.

Simply select your LDAP server (based on IP) and perform the necessary importing.

You can also filter by group or username.

Recipient Control List

Users Control List

If you have enabled the option for "Action for new users" and selected "Waiting for administrator's decision" then all pending users will be listed here.

The "Event" column indicates the status of each user, categorizing them as either a "New User" or a "Deleted User." You have the option to apply the event to users on an individual basis or select all users at once to apply the event in bulk.

Technically, an End-User and a Recipient refer to the same identity in Lucy, though they are distinguished based on the required function for the identity. If the user needs access to the End-user portal, these identities are referred to as "End-users." Conversely, if the user will not have access to a dedicated End-user portal, then these identities are considered as recipients.

LDAP Field Associations

The LDAP Fields Associations screen allows administrators to map LDAP directory attributes to corresponding fields within Lucy for user profiles. Here's an explanation for each text box:

Common Fields:

1. Full Name: Maps to the cn (Common Name) LDAP attribute. Typically used to store the full name of a user.

2. First Name: Corresponds to the givenName LDAP attribute, which holds a user's given (or first) name.

3. Last Name: Linked to the sn (Surname) LDAP attribute, representing a user's family name or last name.

4. Email Address: Matches the mail LDAP attribute, containing the user's email address.

5. Phone Number: Connects to the telephoneNumber LDAP attribute for storing the user's telephone number.

6. Location: Associates with the l (localityName) LDAP attribute, indicating the user's location.

7. Staff Type: This is not matched with a default LDAP attribute in the screenshot and can be used for specifying the type of staff, such as permanent, contractor, etc., if a relevant attribute is available in LDAP.

8. Comment: An optional field for additional comments, not mapped in the screenshot.

9. Link: This could be used to associate a URL or a link relevant to the user profile, not mapped in the screenshot.

10. Language: Tied to the preferredLanguage LDAP attribute, specifying the user's preferred language.

Custom Fields:

11. Division: Linked to the ou (Organizational Unit) LDAP attribute, which can be used to define the division or department a user belongs to.

12. Division Object Class: This could be an advanced field to further specify the LDAP object class of the division attribute if needed.

Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are required, meaning Lucy expects these LDAP attributes to be present and populated in the LDAP directory for successful user import.

LDAP fields that can be used:

Lucy automatically matches certain LDAP attributes to Lucy recipient attributes during import. The default mappings are:

1. Email corresponds to the recipient's email address.

2. Name matches the recipient's full name.

3. Location is used for the recipient's location.

4. Phone ties to the recipient's phone number.
