Has anyone set up Active Directory Connector using OPA + Ldap profile? My OPA is running on a Windows Server.

My questions are:

1. How to overcome the password saved in plain-text in the config.yml file?
2. How is “ssl” block really required?  From the documentation, it is listed as optional, but without it, I am getting an error.

(OPA is not my favourite tool…single point of failure, management overhead, etc.) 😊

There's an "encryptor.cmd" file included with the OPA that will encrypt passwords using the machine key.

OPAs can run in a High Availability group.

Agree with you on OPA config.  Give feedback to Workato to move config to the server like other connectors!

Thank you John! I should have checked doc section first. The instruction was there 😊
