We need to authenticate iTop with LDAP but there are more than 4000 employees for which do we need to create LDAP user each time / import csv each time a new member joins or we can authenticate user login which is already in LDAP database?
Is there a way by which we can authenticate user login on the fly without creating them as iTop user first?
Thanks in advance

Search the forums for Import from LDAP. You could just run that script (automatically) once in a while, so it imports (and if you adjust it a little bit: syncs) users from your AD to iTop.

Hello Jeffrey, Thank you I have successfully configured LDAP authentication ...my final question is
Q) Weather we can directly authenticate LDAP user or running the script is mandatory in order to authenticate new users?

You'd need to adjust the login-code to trigger that, I guess. Either you then force a sync each time, or you force one if the username is unknown.
I've chosen the easy way out and just run the LDAP sync in a short interval (e.g. hourly, daily...)
