To integrate LDAP with your content management
system, you must set up Content Manager EE to
connect with LDAP, import the LDAP users to the library server, and
set up LDAP user authentication.
The end-to-end process to integrate LDAP with your
Content Manager EE system includes the following
high-level groups of tasks:
- Set up the LDAP configuration in the content management system.
- Generate the properties file to contain LDAP connection information.
- Create a test user to test the LDAP connection with the LDAP user
search function in the system administration client.
- Add the properties file to the library server and resource manager
as required by your configuration.
- Import LDAP users into the library server. To use the most efficient
method, set up the LDAP user import utility to import the users and
synchronize user data after the initial import action.
- Set up LDAP user authentication.
- Install the Content Manager EE LDAP
user exit that sends LDAP user information to the LDAP server for
authentication.
- Install the IBM®
Tivoli® Directory Server client
on the library server machine. This client contains the libraries
that the LDAP user exit requires during user authentication.
- Optionally, set up Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) for LDAP authentication.
- Validate an LDAP user log on action with one of the Content Manager EE clients to confirm that
LDAP users can log on to the Content Manager EE clients.
To integrate and validate LDAP with your Content Manager EE system, use the following
steps.
