Solaris stand-alone: Prepare a Tivoli Directory Server
If you plan to use a Tivoli Directory Server as an LDAP user registry, install and set up the server so that it will communicate with WebSphere Portal.
To prepare Tivoli Directory Server:
- Install Tivoli Directory Server; refer to the Tivoli Directory Server Installation and Configuration Guide for instructions.
Due to a restriction in Tivoli Directory Server, users or groups must not contain a Turkish uppercase dotted I or lowercase dotted i in the DN as this will prevent correct retrieval of that user or group.
- Create the WebSphere Portal administrative user:
- Optional. Create a new directory suffix:
- Click the Server Administration folder, located in the left-hand navigation of the directory server console.
- Click the Manage Server Properties folder under the Server Administration folder and then select Suffixes on the main page.
- Type the Base DN name for the suffix; for example: dc=yourcompany,dc=com.
- Click Add.
- Click OK to save changes.
- Open the appropriate LDIF file, located in the root directory of the CD setup, with a text editor:
Use PortalUsers.ldif as a working example and adapted appropriately to work with LDAP server.
Use ContentUsers.ldif for the IBM DB2Content Manager group and user IDs if you configured DB2 Content Manager.
- Replace every dc=yourco,dc=com with your suffix.
- Replace any prefixes and suffixes that are unique to LDAP server.
- You can specify user names other than wpsadmin and wpsbind. For security reasons, specify nontrivial passwords for these administrator accounts.
- If using IBM Tivoli Access Manager Version 5.1, set the objectclasses to accessGroup. If using Tivoli Access Manager Version 6, set the objectclasses to groupOfNames.
- Save changes.
- Follow the instructions provided with directory server to import the LDIF file.
