You can define an LDAP target to be used with LDAP dynamic secrets or LDAP rotated secrets.

Create an LDAP Target in the CLI

To create an LDAP target from the CLI, run the following command:

akeyless target create ldap \
--name <target name> \
--ldap-url <LDAP server URL> \
--bind-dn <LDAP Bind DN with CN> \
--bind-dn-password < Password for LDAP user >

Where:

• name: A unique name of the target. The name can include the path to the virtual folder where you want to create the new target, using slash / separators. If the folder does not exist, it will be created together with the target.

• ldap-url: The URL of your LDAP server (e.g., ldap[s]://<hostname>:<port>)

• bind-dn: The Bind DN of your LDAP user, will be used for connection setup.

• bind-dn-password: The password of the LDAP user.

You can find the complete list of parameters for this command in the CLI Reference - Akeyless Targets section.
