PM-LDAP creates a connection between the booking program and a service directory, thus collecting log-in details from a centralized directory and making the process of working with the program easier for both users and administrators.
User details are updated via a connection to a directory and thus the same login details are used for ProjectManager as for other connected applications, i.e. the same user name and password are used.
User information such as name, email address and phone number are also imported through the LDAP connection. Directory updates are performed every time a user logs in to ProjectManager, or when the administrator chooses to import user details from a directory. The update can also be set to occur automatically, for example overnight.
If the network administrator creates a single sign-on environment, users only need to enter their username and password once (when logging on to the computer) to get immediate access to ProjectManager without having to type in the user details again.
