Tips & Tricks

• Always use Test LDAP settings so you won't get locked out. It works without password.
• If you want to setup your permissions, go to Authorization setting and select Matrix-based security. Add group/user (it has to exist in LLDAP) and you can grant him permissions. Note that Overall Read forbids users to read jenkins and execute actions. Administer gives full rights.
