9.13. LDAP in Teiid Designer

In Teiid Designer, an LDAP Server can be modeled in this way:

The LDAP metadata is modeled using the relational metamodel. Each table in the relational model represents a directory entry while each row in the table represents a child entry of the directory entry. Each column of the table represents an attribute of the child entry that may exist. In general, each table and column defines the LDAP-specific information in the property “Name In Source”. This allows the connector to identify the attribute or Base DN name within the data source, ie. within LDAP. The actual name of the table and column can differ from the name in source, allowing for more descriptive labeling in models and queries.
