IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
User scenarios
In these scenarios it is desired that all user authentication be done via the site's Microsoft Server 2003 Active Directory LDAP user registry. There are two possible ways to configure this authentication for IBM Tivoli Monitoring users:
- Monitor server LDAP authentication
- Configure authentication at the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server using a username filter that maps a userid entered at the Tivoli Enterprise Portal (such as name) to name@company.com. The user logs in as name, which then gets translated through the filter to match the needed LDAP lookup.
This method is described in Authenticate monitoring server userids with Microsoft Active Directory.
- Portal server LDAP authentication
- Configure authentication at the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server so that the userid the user supplies when logging into the Tivoli Enterprise Portal gets looked up and authenticated against the LDAP user registry. In this scenario, the user logs in with firstname.lastname@company.com.
This method is described in Authenticate portal server userids with Microsoft Active Directory.
