Active Directory Integration


Our system’s LDAP connector connects to your LDAP servers and pulls data from your directory to automatically create email signatures directly on Dynasend.

Azure AD: How to provision users from Azure AD into an LDAP directory: Microsoft Documentation

Multiple connections are allowed to map different groups of users to different signature templates.

There’s a mapper (this is currently a JSON dictionary) to define how LDAP fields tie to each email signature fields.

To enable this connection you’ll need to provide credentials for the LDAP server:

  • username: string To connect to your LDAP server, a username and password is required to be able to query and run operations on your server(s). The username option must be a user’s Distinguished Name. If however you are connecting to an Active Directory server, you may use: userPrincipalName (username@domain.com) Down-Level Logon Name (DOMAIN\username)
  • password: string
  • hosts: string[] list The hosts option is an array of IP addresses or host names located on your network that serve an LDAP directory.
  • base_dn: string A ‘Distinguished Name’ is a string based identifier in LDAP that is used to indicate hierarchy. Each object in your domain is assigned a Distinguished Name. This can be used to assign subset of users to templates.
  • port: integer. The port option is used for opening a connection and binding to your LDAP server.
  • follow_referrals: boolean The follow referrals option is a boolean to tell Active Directory to follow a referral to another server on your network if the server queried knows the information your asking for exists, but does not yet contain a copy of it locally.

We offer two levels of AD integration to best meet your needs.

  • AD data always takes precedence: The data reflected in the email signature will always be the most recently received data from AD - our database is overwritten every time we sync with AD.

  • AD data populates user data the FIRST TIME but then users CAN OVERWRITE it: This provides a way of initially populating the Dynasend database with user data (and adding new users as they come on board). This is a “WRITE ONCE” scenario, where after the data is written to our database for the first time, it can then be overwritten by the user via our data entry portal.
