Adding existing users to the LDAP server

Applies to: On premises

You can add existing IBM OpenPages® users to an LDAP server.

Make sure to refer to your LDAP Directory Server documentation for the steps required to add users to the LDAP server.

Important: If you are using Microsoft Active Directory Users and Computers as your LDAP authentication server, the user name is limited to 20 characters. User names that exceed the 20-characters limit are truncated to 20 characters. This length limitation does not occur in the LDAP server provided by Sun.

All users that require access to the OpenPages application or server platform must be added to the LDAP authentication server. In addition, the following users will need to be added to the LDAP server:

  • OPSystem
    Note: If you specify a password for the OPSystem account that is different from the one installed by the product, you will need to complete Changing the OPSystem password to change the OPSystem account password system-wide.
  • The OpenPages Super Administrator (for more information, see The Super Administrator)
  • OPAdministrator (only if you are using this account)
