Hi Vallikannu,
I'm not familiar with DBVisualizer, but from reading their documentation the example LDAP user "grace" (formatted as grace?mechanism=PLAIN&source=$external) would go under the Authentication > Database Userid field when creating a new MySQL client connection pointing to the BI Connector.
To configure multiple different LDAP users, it looks like you'd need to create a new connection for each LDAP user.
If your MongoDB database has LDAP enabled, the mongodb.net.auth should use LDAP credentials that can access a superset of the data to generate the BI Connector's schema. The BI Connector will then pass connecting client credentials (discussed above, e.g., "grace") to MongoDB for authentication and will display and restrict data according to the connecting user’s permissions.
I hope this helps. Please reach out to our support team if you have any further questions.
Cheers, Jon

Hi Jon, Thanks for the documentation. In this doc, under client authentication using LDAP, I can see this example, grace?mechanism=PLAIN&source=$external So where we need to add this exactly. Need some clarity around this and need to know whether it is possible to add multiple LDAP users by using the above example? Thanks, |
