This section contains the settings you configure when you need to use an LDAP query to map the usernames from your audited sessions to the usernames in Starling.

To look up the Starling username of the user from an LDAP/Active Directory database, configure the [ldap] section of the SPS Starling plugin. Typically, the SPS plugin queries the email address corresponding to the username from your LDAP or Active Directory database. For details on LDAP parameters, see [ldap].

If you configure both the append_domain parameter and the [ldap] section of the SPS Starling plugin, SPS appends the @ character and the value of the append_domain parameter to the value retrieved from the LDAP database.

For other methods of mapping gateway usernames to Starling usernames, see Mapping SPS usernames to Starling identities.
