Preparing a Tivoli Directory Server on i5/OS

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 IBM^® WebSphere^® Portal Express.

1. Customize the LDAP directory servers settings using the Directory Services Configuration Wizard. You must have *ALLOBJ and *IOSYSCFG special authority to use the wizard. See Directory Services (LDAP) for information.
2. Run the ldapsearch -h hostname -s base objectclass=* task on the LDAP server command line to verify that the server is installed and working properly.
3. Perform the following steps to create the WebSphere Portal Express administrative user:

   1. Optional: Perform the following steps to create a new directory suffix:

      1. Refer to Add suffixes to the LDAP directory server for information.
      2. Stop and restart the LDAP server.
   2. Open the appropriate LDIF file, located in the root directory of the CD setup, with a text editor:

      • Use the PortalUsers.ldif file as a working example and adapted appropriately to work with your LDAP server.
      • Use the ContentUsers.ldif file for the IBM DB2^® Content Manager group and user IDs if you configured DB2 Content Manager.
   3. Replace every dc=yourco,dc=com with your suffix.
   4. Replace any prefixes and suffixes that are unique to your LDAP server.
   5. You can specify user names other than wpsadmin and wpsbind. For security reasons, specify nontrivial passwords for these administrator accounts.
   6. Optional: If using IBM Tivoli^® Access Manager for e-business Version 5.1, set the objectclasses to accessGroup. If using Tivoli Access Manager Version 6, set the objectclasses to groupOfNames.
   7. Save your changes.
   8. Follow the instructions provided with your directory server to import the LDIF file.
   9. Stop and restart the LDAP server.
