Troubleshooting
Problem
This technote identifies a possible resolution to the error, Invalid LDAP mapping attribute: samAccountName, which might occur when running the verifyconfig command during the setup of LDAP in IBM® Rational® RequisitePro®.
Cause
This error is potentially caused by the improper configuration for the LDAP.INI file you created in the configuration of LDAP.
Resolving The Problem
Use the following steps to validate your INI configuration file:
- Edit the INI file in notepad.
- Insert double quotes around the following variable:
"samAccountName=%login%"
- This variable is case sensitive, validate that the samAcountName variable name used the same case in the following two entries:
"samAccountName=%login%"
-AND-
"ldap_user_attribute=samAccountName"
- The following update might be necessary in the INI file.
Update the INI file to look like one of the following:
[LDAP_ReqPro_Map]
ldap_user_attribute=samAccountName
reqpro_user_field=1
-OR-
[LDAP_ReqPro_Map]
reqpro_user_field=1
ldap_user_attribute=samAccountName
