Linchpin User Profiles - Documentation
Create a meaningful and up to date profile
See the documentation for your Release
By default the user directories configured in Confluence (ADMINISTRATION > USERS & SECURITY > User Directories) are used to fill the user profiles. Alternatively, you can define a separate LDAP resource here (ADMINISTRATION > CUSTOM USER PROFILE > LDAP connection (optional)). The CUP add-on will then use this resource exclusively to fill the user profiles. A common use case would be to manage your users (name, password) and groups (confluence-admins) in a user directory managed by Confluence, but maintain user profile data (position, location etc.) in a different directory.
Choose the LDAP where the CUP will fetch the user field data
Configure a separate LDAP connection
The settings are pretty much the same as configuring a user directory in Confluence.
Please note: The configured LDAP access is strictly read-only.
