Configuration Guide for Directory Sync

Configuring Basic Authentication

1. Log into the directory server console. Start the console from the directory

where your Sun ONE Directory Server is installed. You will need root
privileges.

# ./startconsole

2. On the top-level Configuration tab of the Directory Server console, select the

root node in the configuration tree, and select the Encryption tab in the right-
hand panel.

3. Near the bottom of the right-hand panel, in the DSML Client Authentication

drop-down menu, select HTTP Basic (use authentication in HTTP header).

4. Click Save.

5. Restart the directory.

Configure DSML Identity Mapping

After you’ve installed DSML, set up Identity Mapping.

In DSML, the directory server uses a mechanism called identity mapping to
determine the bind DN from the HTTP Authentication header.Rather, you must tell
the directory server how to map the user name in the Authentication header (such
as “testuser”) to the bind DN (such as “cn=Directory Server”).
