# ◾ How can I configure LDAP synchronization?

Configure LDAP synchronization in [**Directory Access Settings**](/doc/directory-access-settings-jzbz24tyW8) in [**System**](/doc/system-module-4DfmyZ4GUl).


:::success
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/0965a5cb-34c2-4a3b-b92f-4993acf1b96e),  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**.
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 Essentials** will update user details in these fields accordingly.

5. Click **Test LDAP Sync** to check if everything has been set up correctly.

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