Identity sources allow the Application Workspace to use users and groups defined in external identity providers.
There are multiple types of identity sources available:
- LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) allows you to connect to a Microsoft Active Directory, JumpCloud or eDirectory.
- Microsoft Entra ID
The LOCAL identity source is configured and enabled by default. This is where the default admin account resides.
Identity sources list
This list displays all identity sources currently available in the Application Workspace System.
Selecting multiple rows from the table
- To select multiple adjacent rows, click on the first row, then hold down the Shift key and click on the last row in the range; all rows between will be selected.
- To select multiple non-adjacent rows, hold down the Ctrl key (or "Command" on Mac) and click on each row you want to select individually.
- To select multiple adjacent rows using the mouse only, click and hold the left mouse button on the first row, then drag the cursor up or down across the rows to highlight the desired ones.
- Selecting rows using only the keyboard is not possible.
Table toolbar
To create a new identity source, click on the Create button; to view the details of an identity source or edit it, double-click its entry or select the identity source and click the
Edit button.
The Users button opens a list with all the users available within the selected identity source.
The Groups button opens a list with all the groups available within the selected identity source.
Synchronize is available for all identity sources except the LOCAL one; the button is enabled only for identity sources that are enabled. The synchronize option give you the possibility to pull into Application Workspace all the changes made in the identity source since the last sync.
Views gives you control on how the table is displayed.
The default view contains all your identity sources in alphabetic ascending order, and only a few columns: Name, Type, Enabled and Hidden.
You can create your own personalized view of the table, by filtering the identity source or adding/deleting columns and clicking Save as in the drop-down menu of Views.
