You can configure IBM® virtual
member manager to use an approved LDAP repository to be the directory
service for FileNet® P8.
Before you begin
You must provide and configure one or more LDAP repositories
that are certified for use by
WebSphere® Application
Server.
About this task
This task describes the values that you must provide when
you configure
Content Platform Engine using
Configuration Manager.
Procedure
Configuring Content Platform Engine to
use virtual member manager LDAP repositories is slightly different
from configuring a typical Content Platform Engine-LDAP
connection.
- To prepare Content Platform Engine to
connect to a directory server through virtual member manager specify
the following properties in Configuration Manager and Administration Console for Content Platform Engine:
Configuration Manager Configure LDAP task property |
Enter this value |
Directory service provider type |
Specify the directory server that you are using behind IBM virtual member manager. (Content Platform Engine points to IBM virtual member manager that points to the
LDAP you specify with this property.) Examples include Active Directory
and eDirectory. Note: If you use multiple LDAPs, use the WebSphere
administrative console to add more LDAP repositories.
|
WebSphere Application Server LDAP repository type |
Select Federated repositories. Note: This
value ensures that Content Platform Engine uses
virtual member manager.
|
Set as current active user registry |
Select the check box. |
Configuration Manager Bootstrap and Text Extraction task
property |
Enter this value |
Bootstrap user name (cpe_bootstrap_admin) |
Use an account that exists in the IBM virtual member manager LDAP repository. Note:  Record this value in your customized Installation and Upgrade
Worksheet. To find this property, search the worksheet for instances
of cpe_bootstrap_admin.
|
Administration Console for Content Platform Engine Create
a New Domain wizard property |
Enter this value |
Directory Service Provider type |
IBM virtual member manager Note: You
do not need to specify values for any of the other directory service
properties, such as Host, Port, User Base DN, or User Search Filter.
Note:  Record this value in your customized Installation and Upgrade
Worksheet. To find this property, search the worksheet for instances
of ACCE: New Domain wizard.
|
Record these values in your customized Installation and Upgrade Worksheet. To help find these
properties, search the worksheet for instances of virtual member
manager.
- Log in to the WebSphere administrative console as a local
WebSphere administrative user.
- Navigate to .
- Verify that only two repositories are in the realm: o=defaultWIMFileBasedRealm,
and the one you created. Keep the file repository in the
list because you must use the local WebSphere administrative user.
- If there are other unrelated repositories in the list,
delete them, save the change, and restart WebSphere Application
Server.
