LDAP Note

User list

After ownCloud LDAP configuration, the user list can show some usernames containing random numbers. This is because ownCloud ensures that there are no duplicate internal usernames as reported in section Internal Username.

If two administrator users are present, they are of ownCloud and LDAP. So you can remove that of ownCloud after have assigned the LDAP one to the administrator group. So, as a result, you can use only the LDAP administrator user. You can do this by the following steps:

  1. login to ownCloud as administrator
  2. open the user list: admin -> Users
  3. change the group of «admin_xxx» user, checking «admin»
  4. change the password of ownCloud admin user
  5. logout and login with LDAP admin user
  6. delete ownCloud admin user (named «admin»)

  • ip address

To add a new one use:
