IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2


Set up LDAP and single sign-on for your dashboard environment

If you are setting up a dashboard environment with Dashboard Application Services Hub and monitoring dashboard applications such as IBM Infrastructure Management Dashboards for Servers, and you want to control which monitoring resources each of your dashboard users can access, set up an LDAP user repository if you do not already have one in your environment. Then configure Dashboard Application Services Hub, and your portal servers to use the LDAP repository and enable single sign-on.

If your organization does not have a LDAP server or LDAP skills then allow time to determine which LDAP server to use, such as Tivoli Directory Server or Microsoft Active Directory. Also allocate time for an administrator to become familiar with LDAP concepts and to setup and configure the server and add users and groups to the repository.

Once the LDAP server is setup, allow one day to configure Dashboard Application Services Hub, and your portal servers to use the LDAP server and to enable single sign-on. See the Jazz for Service Management Configuration Guide for information on setting up Dashboard Application Services Hub to use LDAP and single sign-on. See the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Administrator's Guide for information on setting up the portal server to use LDAP and single sign-on.
