Tasks to be completed as a prerequisite to setting up LDAP
authentication, and information about supported LDAP servers and platforms.
Before you configure IBM® Rational® ClearQuest® to authenticate against an
LDAP directory, perform the following tasks:
- Arrange to work with your LDAP administrator to collect information
about your LDAP environment.
- Ensure that the LDAP server is installed and configured.
- Ensure that the LDAP directory has been created and populated
with user information.
- Identify which users will be authenticated against the Rational ClearQuest database
and which users will be authenticated against the LDAP directory.
- Decide whether to enable SSL encryption. If you decide to use
SSL, secure the help of your LDAP administrator or someone else who
is familiar with SSL.
