LDAP configuration examples (Sun ONE)

To help you configure LDAP on your Process Engine, consider the following example.

Determining the User and Group Base

This diagram shows a Sun One LDAP structure for a domain called hq_neo.filenet.com (based on the default user initialization file iplanet.ldf provided by FileNet). The diagram illustrates several organizational units (ous).

 

To include users and groups in all ous, as indicated by the gray box, set the User and Group Base to the top level within the box, as follows:

dc=hq_neo,dc=filenet,dc=com

 

To allow access to only those users and groups within the ou1 ou, as indicated by the gray box, set the User and Group Base to the top level within the box, as follows:

ou=ou1,dc=hq_neo,dc=filenet,dc=com

 

Determining the LDAP Username value

To determine the value to enter in LDAP Username, for example the default administrative user PEAdmin, use the ldifde (or equivalent) tool to display the distinguished name (dn) for the user. In our example, the dn is:

uid=PEAdmin,ou=ou1,dc=hq_neo,dc=filenet,dc=com

Removing the User and Group Base from the dn leaves the LDAP Username.

If the User and Group Base is:

dc=hq_neo,dc=filenet,dc=com

enter the following for the LDAP Username:

uid=PEAdmin,ou=ou1

 

If the User and Group Base is:

ou=ou1,dc=hq_neo,dc=filenet,dc=com

enter the following for the LDAP Username:

uid=PEAdmin
