# LDAP Configuration

Partek Flow user accounts can be tied to an organization’s Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) database. These can be configured by administrator accounts using the LDAP Configuration menu (Figure 1). Click on the <img src="/files/nbH3AaDnKukfKLuMHwtb" alt="image2018-11-6 10_40_25" data-size="line"> icon to edit the LDAP configuration. Enter the settings relevant to your domain. Consult with your organization’s LDAP database administrator for assistance with configurations. For more information about any of the fields, mouse over the <img src="/files/mUWsVjOIC84ncxeITnVa" alt="image2018-11-6 10_39_35" data-size="line">.

Once the LDAP settings have been successfully configured, proceed to the User management section of the Settings page then click on <img src="/files/wWdJuLXp1PT1jaTKmiQp" alt="add_plus_icon_green" data-size="line"> . The Source field should denote the name of the LDAP configuration entered. Typing a few characters of the username will prompt Partek Flow to suggest users that are available in your LDAP database to add.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.partek.illumina.com/partek-flow/user-manual/settings/system/ldap-configuration.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
