Configuring the Management Server to Use LDAP

The LDAP server requires a distinguished name (DN) and credentials. The DN can be configured,

allowing name substitution and support for multiple DN configurations.
To configure the management server to use LDAP:

1.

Before switching to LDAP authentication mode, the management server needs to be configured

with a designated LDAP user through the tag. At startup, the

designated LDAP user is mapped to the built-in “admin” user and overrides it with the LDAP user

information.

IMPORTANT:

Make sure the administrator account has already been created in LDAP

before you add it to the login-handler.xml file.

a. On the management server look in one of the following locations:

Windows: %MGR_DIST%\Data\Configuration
UNIX systems: $MGR_DIST/Data/Configuration

b. In the login-handler.xml file, change the value of the tag to

the name of a user account in LDAP, as shown in the following example:

Administrator

where Administrator is the name of a user account in LDAP.
