You can set up users within Autonomous Identity using the phpldapadmin command.

Log in to phpldapadmin

  1. Make sure you have Autonomous Identity successfully installed and deployed in your environment.

    <IP-Address>    autoid-openldap.forgerock.com

  3. Access the phpldapadmin tool via your browser. Enter the following URL:

    https://autoid-openldap.forgerock.com
