We're updating some of our product names. K2 Five is now Nintex Automation. You may see both product names in our help pages while we make this change.

LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol)

LDAP is a protocol for communicating with identity stores which includes Windows Active Directory. The K2 LDAP user manager is designed for LDAP-compatible systems with protocol version 3 or higher. One such system is OpenLDAP. For information on configuring OpenLDAP for use with K2, see the KB article: KB001329. For more information on User Managers in K2, see the topic Introduction to User Managers.

K2 expects the K2 LDAP user manager to be configurable for any LDAP-compatible system with protocol version 3 or higher. However, only Microsoft’s Active Directory has been tested by K2.

For more information on preparing to use LDAP with K2, see K2 LDAP User Manager Preparation.
