Users
Last modified:
A user is any person who is given authorization to use the blue'Log web interface. 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.

Create user account
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
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. The group used (objectClass) must have the value "groupOfNames". A "posixGroup" is not supported.
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.
