Testing LDAP connection

The utils section has a file which can be used to test connection issues and is located at server_web_path/utils/ldap-browser.php

This file opens with default connection to an open test server for ldap. If all is well, you should see data populated below the form area. Else an error message should be returned.

Enter credentials of your local ldap / AD server to test.

Database access

Adminer provides a single page php file to access most popular databases. It is located under your-server-url/utils/ and the time of writing this was the version adminer-4.1.0-en.php

You will need your credentials to access the database.

Changing Logo

It is usually a good idea to have a logo handy in case you do decide to change it from the default one during install. However, you can do this later. Find the file idesk-install-folder/images/logo.png and replace it with your own logo file. Make sure your replacemenet logo file is .png and not greater than 110px by 30px.
