ETLDAP utility
You can use the ETLDAP utility to add LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) users to IBM® TM1® Server when you use TM1 Server with Integrated Login and LDAP authentication.
ETLDAP, an LDAP load tool, provides the following functionality:
- Extracts user information from an LDAP or Active Directory server.
- Creates the element UniqueID in the }ClientProperties dimension.
- Adds users to the }ClientProperties cube.
- Populates the UniqueID field in the }ClientProperties cube with the domain-qualified user name of the user you add to TM1 database. For example, ETLDAP writes the name robert@company.com to the }ClientProperties cube.
As the TM1 administrator, you can perform these tasks using ETLDAP:
- Add many user names from an LDAP server to the TM1 database quickly.
- Migrate information from a legacy LDAP database to TM1.
- Perform one or more queries to specify the users you want to create in TM1 Server, and then export the users into the TM1 security cubes.
- Update TM1 with new users that have been added to the LDAP server since the initial load of user data into TM1.
- Integrated Security Mode 3 - Integrated Login
- Integrated Security Mode 5 - IBM Cognos® Analytics authentication
However, you can use ETLDAP to prepare your user and security data for Integrated Security Mode 3 server operation. In this case, you must configure your server to use Integrated Security Mode 1 or 2 while using the ETLDAP utility. Then, after all user and security data has been prepared, you must reconfigure your server to use Integrated Security Mode 3 during normal operation.
See IntegratedSecurityMode for more information about Integrated Security Mode options.
