LDAP Picker

LDAP Picker, Home Server Picker and Mailbox Picker within Workflow Actions

Some workflow actions require connection information to lookup Active Directory.

To configure the settings for the LDAP Path, Primary home server or Mailbox Store, click on .

Using the LDAP Picker

Workflow actions such as 'Query LDAP' and 'Create AD User' require an LDAP address in order to connect to an Active Directory data store.

When the LDAP Picker is initially opened, it will attempt to connect to Active Directory using the information in the workflow action's dialog 'LDAP Path' text box. An error will occur if further credentials are required.

To configure the Active Directory details for the LDAP Path:

  • Select an Active Directory object by clicking on it.
  • Then click the Close button. The selected object's LDAP path will be inserted into the appropriate section within the workflow action dialog. 

Using the Home Server Picker

* This topic applies to Nintex Workflow Enterprise Edition only

The Enable OCS workflow action requires an LDAP address in order to specify the Primary Home Server. Generally, this will be an object called 'LC Services'.

When the Home Server Picker dialog is initially opened, it will attempt to connect to Active Directory using the information in the workflow action's dialog 'LDAP Path' text box. It will then attempt to find any available 'LC Services' folders. An error will occur if further credentials are required.

To configure the Active Directory details for the Primary Home Server:

  • Select an 'LC Services' object by clicking on it.
  • Then click the Close button. The selected object's LDAP path will be inserted into the appropriate section within the workflow action dialog.

Using the Mailbox Picker

* This topic applies to Nintex Workflow Enterprise Edition only

The Provision User in Exchange workflow action requires an LDAP address in order to specify the Mailbox Container (or Exchange Database if provisioning an Exchange 2007/2010 mailbox). Generally, this will be an object called 'Mailbox Database', residing under a 'Storage Group' object

When the MailStore Picker dialog is initially opened, it will attempt to connect to Active Directory using the information in the workflow action's dialog 'LDAP Path' text box. It will then attempt to find any available 'Mailbox Database' folders. An error will occur if further credentials are required.

To configure the Active Directory Details for the Mailbox Store:

  • Select a 'Mailbox Database' object (or another location in which you want the mailbox to reside) by clicking on it.
  • Then click the Close button. The selected object's LDAP path will be inserted into the appropriate section within the workflow action dialog.
