Mapping enterprise LDAP users to IMPAX users

If your site has an enterprise LDAP system, you can map users from this LDAP system to IMPAX users. This method is most useful for users that require individual configurations, or for users you want to place in specific roles. For example, if the LDAP server has a Physicians group that contains all doctors in the site, you want to pick only the radiologists to place in the Radiology roles you have created. Therefore, you can select each IMPAX user that you have created and map that user to a user from the LDAP server. Then, you can continue by applying specific preferences for each radiologist.

To map enterprise an LDAP user to an IMPAX user

  1. From the Configure drawer menu Configure drawer menu, select Users and Roles.

  2. In the navigation pane, select a user.

  3. In the details pane, expand the User bar.

  4. Switch to the Mapping tab.

  5. Log into the enterprise LDAP server.

    The information for the LDAP server is displayed, with the User View option selected.

  6. If required, type the name of the user to map and click Search.

  7. Select the LDAP user to map the IMPAX user to.

  8. Click Apply.

    The LDAP user in mapped to the IMPAX user and the resulting mapping is displayed in the userName is mapped to list. The changes are saved automatically when you switch context.

Note:

Note:

If the user name contains invalid characters (one of = + < > # ; \), a validation error appears when mapping the user.
