Use this task to configure the staff plug-in provider that Business Process Choreographer uses to determine who can start a process or claim an activity or a task.
User directory service | Plug-in provider |
---|---|
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) | LDAP Staff Plugin Provider |
Local operating system user registry | System Staff Plugin Provider |
WebSphere Application Server user registry | User Registry Staff Plugin Provider |
All of these plug-ins are already installed. You can use the user registry and system plug-ins without any configuration.
The LDAP staff plug-in is configured for an LDAP server with anonymous access; the LDAP server is local to the installed application server. You can change the configuration of the LDAP plug-in.
LDAP plug-in property | Required or optional | Comments |
---|---|---|
AuthenticationAlias | Optional | The authentication alias used to connect to LDAP, for example, mycomputer/My LDAP Alias. You must define this alias in the administrative console by clicking | . If this alias is not set, anonymous logon to the LDAP server is used.
AuthenticationType | Optional | If the AuthenticationType property is not set, the default logon is anonymous authentication. In all other cases, the default is simple authentication. |
BaseDN | Required | The base distinguished name (DN) for all LDAP search operations, for example, "o=mycompany, c=us" |
CasesentivenessForObjectclasses | Optional | Determines whether the names of LDAP object classes are case-sensitive. |
ContextFactory | Required | Sets the Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) context factory, for example, com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory |
ProviderURL | Required | This Web address must point to the LDAP JNDI directory server and port. The format must be in normal JNDI syntax, for example, ldap://localhost:389 |
SearchScope | Required | The default search scope for all search operations. Determines how deep to search beneath the baseDN property. Specify one of the following values: objectScope, onelevelScope, or subtreeScope |
additionalParameterName1-5 and additionalParameterValue1-5 | Optional | Use these name-value pairs to set up to five arbitrary JNDI properties for the connection to the LDAP server. |
