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.
