Identity Management (EE vs CE)
Guaranteeing that only the right individuals have appropriate access to your workspace and every conversation there is essential. With Rocket.Chat, you can connect to your Active Directory application or Identity Management System through Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), Open Authorization (OAuth), and Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML).
In your workspace, leverage advanced settings such as background sync, roles mapping from groups, auto-logout, and advanced user data sync with LDAP. Here are some differences between the community and enterprise editions when using LDAP.
Community | Enterprise |
|---|---|
Login ​ Login Fallback: This option allows regular password users to log in on Rocket.Chat. It will let LDAP users continue using Rocket.Chat if the LDAP server is down. Merge with existing Rocket.Chat users: Detect if the LDAP user is already registered on Rocket.Chat and use the same user for both authentication types. Filter what LDAP users can log in: There are two settings to manage this: Search Filter and Group Filter. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ | ​ Advanced User Data Sync ​ Load information from the LDAP user to Rocket.Chat Load Custom User Data from LDAP: Load any LDAP attribute to a custom field on Rocket.Chat Advanced-Data Sync: Perform additional operations based on data from LDAP Roles Mapping from Groups: You can map any LDAP group to a Rocket.Chat role Auto-Subscribe to Channels: You can map any LDAP group to a Rocket.Chat channel Auto-Unsubscribe from Channels: You can also remove users from Rocket.Chat channels on LDAP Auto-Join Teams: You can map any LDAP group to a Rocket.Chat team Auto-Leave Teams: You can also remove users from Rocket.Chat teams on LDAP ​ |
