Importing an Entry into LDAP

This topic describes the procedure to import an external file to LDAP.

Before you begin this task: Access Management Console and connect to LDAP as an authenticated user.

  2. Click Content > Import. Alternatively, click on the toolbar. The Import dialog box is displayed.
