Here are the steps and explanation (via links) on how a LDAP (or Active Directory) user gets mapped to a Artifactory LDAP group.
- Setup LDAP filter (or Active Directory )
- Setup and Import LDAP Groups
- Create permission rules to the LDAP Groups (also refer to Best Practice for setting Permission Target)
- Login to Artifactory using a LDAP user.
Here is a video on how the LDAP group mapping is done (showing on 5.x version, but the concept is the same): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nT76RgXA2c
