Map portal client userids to LDAP Distinguished Names
Map Tivoli Enterprise Portal user IDs to LDAP distinguished names provides the steps required to associate your new portal server userids to the Distinguished Names made available by the previous TEPS/e configurations steps. The available Distinguished Names relate directly to the TEPS/e Repository-associated Base configuration property Distinguished name of a base entry that uniquely identifies this set of entries in the realm.To display all available Distinguished Names, first delete any entry in the Distinguished Name field; then click the Find button. All configured Realm → Repository → Base Distinguished Names that uniquely identify this set of entries in the realm are displayed with the users that were returned by IBM Tivoli Monitoring when performing a query against Active Directory using the Login Properties value.
These users will be displayed using their Active Directory CN format (see Figure 6).
Option: The Active Directory LDAP configuration steps recommend the Tivoli Enterprise Portal userids be created prior to the configuration of TEPS/e. Optionally, the creation of portal server userids can wait until after the Active Directory userids and TEPS/e configuration are completed. The advantage here is that you can use the Create User function in the Administer Users interface while having access to the Distinguished Names to ensure the userid you assign matches the available Distinguished Name.
