Users

A user is any person who is given authorization to use the blue'Log web interface. You can add new users and edit existing users under System > Users.

We highly recommend activating the Support access toggle so that our Support team can assist you quickly in case of troubleshooting. If you do not activate the toggle, our Support team cannot view your device remotely.

Activate an LDAP server

You can use your company's IT infrastructure to control data encryption and user management on your blue'Log. Using an LDAP server allows users to log in via a user name instead of attributes such as email.

If you activate LDAP, internal user management on the blue’Log is deactivated. If the LDAP server is not available, you cannot log in to the blue‘Log. meteocontrol Support cannot access the blue'Log if LDAP is activated.

Prerequisites

IT infrastructure license
Your user name must already be saved in a group to log in.

Steps

Under System > Users, activate the Use LDAP server toggle.
Fill in the following fields:
- LDAP URL: URL of the LDAP server that starts with ldap:// or ldaps://
- LDAP suffix: suffix directory of the LDAP server
- Distinguished name: user name for authentication on the LDAP server
- Password: password required for authentication on the LDAP server
- Authorized groups: groups: groups saved on the LDAP server that have permission to access the blue’Log.
When you select Save, a new dialog appears, and you must enter an authorized user. This carries out a test login which tests whether the data entered are valid. If the test login is not successful, the data are not saved. The purpose of this process is to prevent you from locking yourself out of the system.
