# LDAP Integration
Grafana 2.1 ships with strong LDAP integration feature. The LDAP integration in Grafan allows your
Grafan users to login with their LDAP credentials. You can also specify mappings between LDAP
group memberships and Grafana Organization user roles.

## Bind & Bind Password
By default the configuration expects you to specify a bind DN and bind password. This should be a read only user that can perform ldap searches.

When the user DN is found a second bind is performed with the user provided username & password (in the normal Grafana login form).

If you can provide a single bind expression that matches all possible users you can skip the second bind and bind against the user DN directly.

In this case you skip providing a `bind_password` and instead provide a `bind_dn` value with a `%s` somewhere. This will be replaced with the username
entered in on the Grafana login page. The search filter and search bases settings are still needed to perform the ldap search to retreive the other ldap
information (like ldap groups and email).

## Ldap to Grafana Org Role Sync
In the `[[servers.group_mappings]]` you can map a LDAP group to a grafana organization and role. These will be synced every time the user logs in. So
if you change a users role in the Grafana Org. Users page, this change will be reset the next time the user logs in. Similarly if you
can LDAP groups for a user in LDAP the change will take effect the next time the user logs in to Grafana.
## Group Mappings
In `[[servers.group_mappings]]` you can map an LDAP group to a Grafana organization and role. These will be synced every time the user logs in, with LDAP being the authoratative source.
So, if you change a user's role in the Grafana Org. Users page, this change will be reset the next time the user logs in. If you change the LDAP groups of a user, the change will take effect the next time the user logs in.
### Priority between Multiple Mappings
The first group mapping that an LDAP user is matched to will be used for the sync. If you have LDAP users that fit multiple mappings, the topmost mapping in the TOML config will be used.
