# Import emails from LDAP

You can import emails from your existing LDAP system using the following procedure.

1. Navigate to the `/pentaho-server/pentaho-solutions/system/scheduler-plugin` folder.
2. Open `settings.xml` file and change the `email-source` setting to `ldap`.
3. Update the file `applicationContext-email-import.properties` by providing LDAP connection and query information.

   In the following properties file, ask your administrator to provide LDAP connection information.

   ```
   # LDAP configuration
   ldap.initial-context-factory=com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory
   ldap.provider-url=ldap://localhost:10389
   ldap.security-authentication=simple
   ldap.security-principal=uid=admin,ou=system
   ldap.security-credentials=Encrypted 2be98afc86aa7f2e4cb79bd75dd80aace
   ldap.search-filter=(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)
   ldap.search-path=ou=users,ou=system
   # ldap.required-attributes must be in the order of first name,
   # last name, email ex: cn=first name, sn=last name, mail=email
   ldap.required-attributes=cn,sn,mail
   ```

   The LDAP password is encrypted using the `encr` utility. This utility is provided along with other startup scripts in the `/server/pentaho-server` folder.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.pentaho.com/pba/10.2-analytics/pentaho-user-console/about-pentaho-user-console-perspectives/schedules/schedule-reports/import-emails-from-data-sources/import-emails-from-ldap.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
