Table of Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition features that are identified as being supported or not supported by the Content Platform Engine.
Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition Features Supported By Content Platform Engine
One-way SSL Yes
Two-way SSL No
Transport Layer Security (TLS) No
Static Groups Yes
Nested Groups Yes
Dynamic Groups No
Universal Groups No
Supported User type (objectClass) inetOrgPerson
Supported Static Group types (objectClass) groupOfUniqueNames
Follow referrals for Search (for example, User and Group retrieval)

No

Restriction: Earlier releases of FileNet® P8 were able to follow referrals, but this is not supported in the present release due to problems with how Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition performs sorting. Use Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition server chaining instead of referrals.
Support multiple realms Yes
Chaining Yes
Roles No
Directory aliases No
Restrict to single realm Yes - Just configure one realm in application server
Configurable user short name attribute Yes - Because the short name does not contain realm information, short names must be unique across all your configured domains and realms.
Configurable group short name attribute Yes. Because the short name does not contain realm information, short names must be unique across all your configured domains and realms.
Configurable user display name attribute Yes
Configurable group display name attribute Yes
Multiple authenticating attributes support Yes - Can authenticate against the same Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition server with multiple attributes, such as uid or distinguishedName. See Configure multiple authenticating attributes.
Use email attribute as short name Yes - for user short name

Do not use email for group short name

Sorting Yes - Return users and groups in sorted order: either ascending or descending order.
Server side sorting Yes (Required) - Server Side Sorting (SSS) must be enabled. This is because FileNet P8 components call on Content Platform Engine to perform searches using a sorted paging mechanism. Note that SSS is normally enabled by default but is sometimes disabled due to concerns with performance.
Paging/Continuation Y - Return users and groups page by page. Page continuation happens automatically in the back end.
