What type of account should not be used for LDAP integration in JAMF Pro?

Using a personal user account for LDAP integration in JAMF Pro is not advisable. Personal accounts are typically tied to an individual and can be subject to changes such as password updates or account deactivation when the individual leaves the organization. This can disrupt the integration and lead to challenges in managing your systems effectively.

Additionally, personal accounts may not have the necessary permissions and roles assigned for service management, which can limit functionality and access. In contrast, a service account is specifically designed for programmatic access with appropriate permissions, making it stable and reliable for ongoing integrations. Similarly, administrator accounts, while capable of accessing the necessary resources, may grant more privileges than required and pose security risks if not managed properly. Temporary testing accounts are also not ideal for long-term connections, as they may be removed or disabled after the testing phase, compounding potential issues with system integration.
