Does LDAP Interface needs Universal Directory License
good day, it seems that i cannot activate the LDAP interface. We have SSO license only, i guess that's the reason, isn't it?
P.S.: is there a "feature table" allowing to get these informations in an easy way?
I find the regular documentation quite poor regarding these infos, i.e. the page
https://help.okta.com/en/prod/Content/Topics/Directory/LDAP-interface-main.htm
should put in evidence which kind of license the feature needs, saving a lot of time of "poor admins".
thanks!
Hi Alessandro Tinivelli,
Thank you for reaching out to Okta Support, my name is Stefan. In order to be successful in integrating an LDAP Interface with Okta you are required to have the Universal Directory License due to the fact that the LDAP Interface uses Universal Directory for authentication instead of an LDAP server or Active Directory (AD). More details on this integration are available on this link :
https://help.okta.com/en/prod/Content/Topics/Directory/LDAP-interface-main.htm
The integration is very general and this why you only see this guidance on setting it up :

For more details on how to obtain the Universal Directory License please reach out to your Account Executive and we will be more than happy to help you .
Thank You,
