Get LDAP Configuration

Version 4.0.24.18

Get the LDAP configuration.

Looker can be optionally configured to authenticate users against an Active Directory or other LDAP directory server. LDAP setup requires coordination with an administrator of that directory server.

Only Looker administrators can read and update the LDAP configuration.

Configuring LDAP impacts authentication for all users. This configuration should be done carefully.

Looker maintains a single LDAP configuration. It can be read and updated. Updates only succeed if the new state will be valid (in the sense that all required fields are populated); it is up to you to ensure that the configuration is appropriate and correct).

LDAP is enabled or disabled for Looker using the enabled field.

Looker will never return an auth_password field. That value can be set, but never retrieved.

See the Looker LDAP docs for additional information.

Calls to this endpoint may be denied by Looker (Google Cloud core).
