IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for Application Diagnostics, Version 7.1.0.1

Configure LDAP


Overview

If you already have a configured LDAP server, you may use the existing users on this server. In this case, skip the rest of this section.

Make sure a user named wasadmin is not registered on your LDAP server. Otherwise, the WAS instance (eWAS) running the Tivoli Enterprise Portal may encounter error...


Use IBM Tivoli Directory Services

Before creating any users, install and configure IBM Tivoli Directory Server (ITDS). You may create a database for it on the DB2 server used by the Visualization Engine. Then set up the framework for single sign-on users.

Use the ITDS configuration tool to add a domain name suffix dc=ibm,dc=com.

Then open the ITDS Web configuration tool. Under Directory Management, add an entry. Select the structural object class domain, and set relative DN to dc=ibm,dc=com.


Create an LDAP user for single sign on

To add a user that will have access to both TEP and VE using single sign-on, open the ITDS Web configuration tool and perform the following procedure:

  1. Under Manage entries, select the entry that was added in Set up IBM Tivoli Directory Services, and add a new entry.

  2. Set...

      object class groupOfNames
      relative DN cn=users
      cn users
      member uid=username,cn=users,dc=ibm,dc=com

  3. Under Manage entries, select the entry that was added earlier, and click Expand.

  4. Select the entry of cn=users, and add a new entry.

  5. Select the object class inetOrgPerson, set relative DN to uid=username, cn to username, and sn to username.

    In optional properties, set uid to username, and userPassword to a secure password to be used for sign on to both TEP and VE.

    Remember this password; the users will not need to know it.

username is the logon name of the user.

Perform this procedure for every user who will need to access TEP and VE using single sign-on.
