Navigate to the Admin console > Authentication > LDAP. This is the first step, as it allows you to access the settings and options for LDAP authentication in Appian.

Work with the customer LDAP point of contact to obtain the LDAP authentication xsd. Import the xsd file in the Admin console. This is the second step, as it allows you to define the schema and structure of the LDAP data that will be used for authentication in Appian. You will need to work with the customer LDAP point of contact to obtain the xsd file that matches their LDAP server configuration and data model. You will then need to import the xsd file in the Admin console using the Import Schema button.

Enable LDAP and enter the LDAP parameters, such as the URL of the LDAP server and plaintext credentials. This is the third step, as it allows you to enable and configure the LDAP authentication in Appian. You will need to check the Enable LDAP checkbox and enter the required parameters, such as the URL of the LDAP server, the plaintext credentials for connecting to the LDAP server, and the base DN for searching for users in the LDAP server.

Test the LDAP integration and see if it succeeds. This is the fourth and final step, as it allows you to verify and validate that the LDAP authentication is working properly in Appian. You will need to use the Test Connection button to test if Appian can connect to the LDAP server successfully. You will also need to use the Test User Lookup button to test if Appian can find and authenticate a user from the LDAP server using their username and password.
