Repository reference settings
Use this page to configure a repository reference. A repository reference is a single repository containing a set of identity entries referenced by a base entry into the directory information tree. To view this console page:
- In the console, click Security > Global security.
- Under User account repository, select Federated repositories from the Available realm definitions field and click Configure. To configure for a specific domain in a multiple security domain environment, click Security domains > domain_name. Under Security Attributes, expand User Realm, and click Customize for this domain. Select the Realm type as Federated repositories and then click Configure.
- Click Add base entry to realm.
When you finish adding or updating the federated repository configuration, go to the Security > Global security panel and click Apply to validate the changes.
Repository
Unique identifier for the repository. This identifier uniquely identifies the repository within the cell.
Expand the drop-down list to display a list of previously defined repository identifiers.
Distinguished name of a base entry that uniquely identifies this set of entries in the realm
Distinguished name (DN) that uniquely identifies this set of entries in the realm.
If multiple repositories are included in the realm, it is necessary to define an additional distinguished name that uniquely identifies this set of entries within the realm. Overlapping base entries are not supported. You should not define two base entries where one is c=us, and the other is o=myorg,c=us in the same realm; otherwise a search returns duplicate results.
Distinguished name of a base entry in this repository
Specifies the LDAP distinguished name (DN) of the base entry within the repository. The entry and its descendents are mapped to the subtree that is identified by the unique base name entry field.
If this field is left blank, then the subtree defaults to the value provided for the distinguished name of the base entry that uniquely identifies this set of entries in the realm.
