Click Create user Addon LDAP.
1. You have two possibilities to create the user:

  2. Manual input (User creation in Identity Manager via editing data, same as in Create user, see step 4).
To create the user via LDAP connection, select Import by LDAP.
1. Click Next.
  
  To cancel the process, see "Cancel the process" below.
2. Click Search to search for an active user in the LDAP directory.
