Version 4.0.24.14
Test the user authentication settings for an LDAP configuration.
This test accepts a full LDAP configuration along with a username/password pair and attempts to authenticate the user with the LDAP server. The configuration is validated before attempting the authentication.
Looker will never return an auth_password. If this request omits the auth_password field, then the auth_password value from the active config (if present) will be used for the test.
test_ldap_user and test_ldap_password are required.
The active LDAP settings are not modified.
Calls to this endpoint may be denied by Looker (Google Cloud core).
