Overview of LDAP setup procedures
Corporate
LDAP server implementations are typically tailored to the needs of
an organization. To enable LDAP authentication for your database set,
you must be able to:
- Collect information about
your LDAP environment from your LDAP administrator.
- Run a series of installutil subcommands
on Windows. The subcommands specify how
to connect to the LDAP server and how to search the LDAP directory
to authenticate users.
- Deal with the factors involved in
configuring LDAP when Rational® ClearQuest MultiSite is installed.
- Disable LDAP authentication when
required.
- Enable SSL encryption
with GSKit. To enable SSL encryption, you need to create a
key database file to hold the certificates that are be used to ensure
secure communications between the Rational ClearQuest clients and the
LDAP directory server, and you need to make this key database file
accessible to the clients.
As an aid to LDAP setup, you can refer to the topic on Common LDAP configurations, or use the Quick-reference LDAP worksheet.
