IBM Content Manager, Version 8.5.0.3      Supports:  IBM Content Navigator     

Generating the properties file

The cmbcmenv.properties file is used by the system administration client utility program for importing users from the LDAP server. The library server and the resource manager might also require this file for user authentication, based on the configuration of your system.

To set up the information required to generate the properties file:

  1. Start the system administration client.
  2. Click Tools > LDAP Configuration.
  3. Select the Enable LDAP User Import and Authentication check box.
  4. Click the Server tab.
  5. To supply the values to generate the properties file, enter data for the LDAP configuration options on the Server page. See the topic about defining the LDAP configuration for additional information about these options.
    Tip: Supplying information in the Advanced and Authentication pages is an optional step. Those pages contain default LDAP configuration values that are sufficient for most content management systems.
When you save the LDAP configuration options, a cmbcmenv.properties file is generated in the directory pointed to by the IBMCMROOT/CMGMT environment variable on the system. In the next step of the LDAP integration, you test the properties of this file to ensure that it is configured correctly.
