  • Service: Can configure devices, modify settings, and change the password and email for themselves and other users.

  • User: Read-only.

When accessing the web interface for the first time, you must register the first user. See Quick start guide.

For additional users, a user in the user group Service must set up accounts and passwords.

Prerequisites

Connect bluelog to an LDAP server

The LDAP license bluelog Neo allows you to manage bluelog user accounts via your LDAP IT infrastructure.

Prerequisites

    • LDAP suffix: Suffix directory of the LDAP server 

    • Distinguished name: Username for authentication on the LDAP server 

    • Password: Required for authentication on the LDAP server

      • "posixGroup" is not supported.

  3. Select Save.

  4. A new dialog appears where you must enter an authorized user and password for a test login. The purpose of this process is to test whether the data are valid and prevent you from locking yourself out of the system. 

    • If the test login is successful, the settings are saved.

    • If the test login fails, the settings are not saved.
