Title: Can I use a LDAP-Database (Windows Active Directory) as a Datasource?
Post by: Joern on 19 May 2016 01:47:53 AM
Hello,

is it possible to create a Data Source Connection to a LDAP database such as a Windows Active Directory and then use it, to query data a build reports on this data?

Thanks Joern

If you have money to spend there is this ODBC driver for LDAP.

I am not aware of anything free.
