Unable to logon to eDiscovery Manager using LDAP users

Troubleshooting


Problem

We are not able to logon to our eDiscovery Manager web client using LDAP users. However, we are able to logon using non-LDAP users. We are using a Content Manager repository.

Symptom

Your edmapp log shows errors similar to the following:


[2010-01-20 14:16:48.705] [441 ] [INFO ] [37 ] [METHOD ] [com.ibm.icm.edc.ral.cm.impl.RepositoryImpl] [loginRepos ] Connecting to content manager server icmnlsdb with user csadmin
[2010-01-20 14:16:48.789] [442 ] [SEVERE ] [37 ] [METHOD ] [com.ibm.icm.edc.ral.cm.impl.RepositoryImpl] [loginRepos ] Failed to connect to content manager.

Resolving The Problem

eDiscovery Manager uses II4C (CM APIs) to connect to Content Manager (CM). The above error indicates that II4C cannot connect to CM when using LDAP users.

  • Make sure you have performed all the required configuration for LDAP on the CM side
  • Make sure you can connect to your CM repository with the non-LDAP user using the II4C sample SConnectDisconnectICM.java successfully
