# Configuring LDAP

Ping Autonomous Identity installs an OpenLDAP Docker image on the target server to hold user data. Administrators can add or remove users or change their group privileges using the `phpldapadmin` command (refer to [Creating and Removing Users](chap-creating-users.html)).

You can configure the OpenLDAP repository specific to your environment using the `~/autoid-config/vars.yml` file.

1. Determine the LDAP domain, base DN, URL, group search base DN, and phpldapadmin port for your OpenLDAP repository.

2. On the deployer node, add the OpenLDAP configuration settings specific to your system to the `~/autoid-config/vars.yml` file:

   ```
   openldap:
       ldap_domain: zoran.com
       ldap_base_dn: dc=zoran,dc=com
       ldap_url: ldap://openldap
       ldap_groupsearchbase: ou=Groups,dc=zoran,dc=com
       ldap: true
       phpldapadmin_port: 80
   ```
