LDAP entity types collection
Use this page to list LDAP entity types supported by the member repositories or to select an LDAP entity type to view or change its configuration properties.
To view this administrative console page:
- In the administrative 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.
- Under Related items, click Manage repositories.
- Click Add to specify a new external repository or select an external repository that is preconfigured.
- Under Additional properties, click LDAP entity types.
When we finish adding or updating the federated repository configuration, go to the Security > Global security panel and click Apply to validate the changes.
Entity type
Entity type name.
Object classes
Object classes that are mapped to this entity type. LDAP entries that contain one or more of the object classes belong to this entity type.
We cannot map multiple entity types to the same LDAP object class.
Search bases
Search bases used to search this entity type.
The search bases specified must be subtrees of the base entry in the repository. For example, we can specify the following search bases, where o=ibm,c=us is the base entry in the repository:
o=ibm,c=us or cn=users,o=ibm,c=us or ou=austin,o=ibm,c=us
In the preceding example, we cannot specify search bases c=us or o=ibm,c=uk.
Delimit multiple search bases with a semicolon (;). For example:
ou=austin,o=ibm,c=us;ou=raleigh,o=ibm,c=us
Search filter
LDAP search filter used to search this entity type.
For example, use (objectclass=ePerson) to search for users or (&(cn=%v)(|(objectclass=groupOfNames)(objectclass=groupOfUniqueNames))) to search for groups in an external LDAP repository.
If a search filter is not specified, the object classes and the relative distinguished name (RDN) properties are used to generate the search filter.
