FileNet P8 Content Engine, Version 5.0.+              

Configuring directory service authentication

You must configure the directory service authentication for the domain. To set up multi-realm authorization, you must run the Create a Directory Configuration wizard one time for each realm.

Be sure that you have available the Installation and Upgrade Worksheet that was completed during your planning activities.

See these FileNet® P8 help topics for additional information:

To configure directory service authentication:

  1. Open your completed Installation and Upgrade Worksheet file.
    Tip: In the worksheet file, verify that the Data > Filter > AutoFilter command is enabled. To view only Content Engine values for this task, filter by EM: Create a Directory Configuration in the Installation or Configuration Program column.
  2. In the FileNet P8 dialog box, click Connect.
  3. In the Create P8 Domain screen, enter the name for a new FileNet P8 domain and click Continue to start the Create a Directory Configuration wizard.

    If an error occurs, check the application server log file on the machine where Content Engine is deployed:

    Application server type Path to log file
    IBM WebSphere® Application Server WAS_install_path/AppServer/profiles/profile_name/logs/server_name/SystemOut.log
    Oracle WebLogic Server WLS_install_path/user_projects/domains/domain_name/servers/server_name/logs/server_name.log
    JBoss Application Server JBOSS_DIST/server/server_name/log/server_name.log
  4. Complete the configuration screens by using the values in your worksheet.
  5. In the Configure New Domain Permissions message box, click OK to acknowledge that the directory configuration is complete but remains in restricted mode. The Configure New Domain Permissions wizard automatically starts if you are using Enterprise Manager for the first time and have not defined any Global Configuration Data (GCD) administrators.
