LDAP with Apache Tomcat

Configure the Apache Tomcat application server for LDAP authentication and configure security (Java™ Platform, Enterprise Edition) in the web.xml file of the Application Center.

To configure ACL management of the Application Center, configure LDAP for user authentication, map the Java™ EE roles of the Application Center to the LDAP roles, and configure the Application Center properties for LDAP authentication. Only the simple type of LDAP authentication is supported.

• Configuration of LDAP authentication (Apache Tomcat)
  Define the users who can access the Application Center console and the users who can log in with the mobile client by mapping Java Platform, Enterprise Edition roles to LDAP roles.
• Configure LDAP ACL management (Apache Tomcat)
  Use LDAP to define the users and groups who can install mobile applications with the Application Center by defining the Application Center LDAP properties through JNDI.
