# ◾ How to Configure LDAP Synchronization

## Directory Access Settings

Configure LDAP synchronization in [**Directory Access Settings**](/doc/directory-access-settings-S81luUrTCx) in the [**System manager**](/doc/system-manager-ar9EDnlVcL).


:::tip
Contact your organization’s network administrator or IT professional for the exact details of your directory server.

:::


1. Once your [**connection is established with the directory server(s)**](/doc/22524874-18df-4335-ae94-c071badd6024), switch on the **'Use for Sync'** toggle to continue.
2. Provide the name and password of the query user of your directory server.

3. Also, provide the query base.

   ## Mapping
4. At **Mapping**, enter the attributes used on your directory server that correspond with each personal detail field (e.g., first name, email, UCID, etc.).

   
:::warning
   Only the **Card ID** field is optional. All other fields are **mandatory**.

   :::

   
:::info
   Each time you synchronize groups, **LearningSpace Enterprise** will update user details in these fields accordingly.

5. Click **"Test LDAP Sync"** to verify that everything is set up correctly.  

   
:::success
   The new **Department** field available in the [Edit User Pop-Up](/doc/e1a91793-4430-455c-8391-2a1dab4c6a57) can be synced via [LDAP synchronization](https://kb.learningspace.elevatehealth.net/s/ent-hs/doc/how-to-configure-ldap-synchronization-zRqlnJJQfk) for each learner, too.

   :::

   
:::warning
   The query user requires every field to be set up for **Mapping**. For example, ensure that the query user has a first name and last name in your directory server; otherwise, **LDAP Sync** testing will fail.
