Use this page to list Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) entity types that are supported by the member repositories or to select an LDAP entity type to view or change its configuration properties.
When you finish adding or updating your federated repository configuration, go to the Security > Global security panel and click Apply to validate the changes.
Specifies the entity type name.
Specifies the object classes that are mapped to this entity type. LDAP entries that contain one or more of the object classes belong to this entity type.
You cannot map multiple entity types to the same LDAP object class.
Specifies the search bases that are used to search this entity type.
The search bases specified must be subtrees of the base entry in the repository. For example, you can specify the following search bases, where o=ibm,c=us is the base entry in the repository:
o=ibm,c=us or cn=users,o=ibm,c=us or ou=austin,o=ibm,c=us
In the preceding example, you cannot specify search bases c=us or o=ibm,c=uk.
Delimit multiple search bases with a semicolon (;). For example:
ou=austin,o=ibm,c=us;ou=raleigh,o=ibm,c=us
Specifies the LDAP search filter that is used to search this entity type.
For example, use (objectclass=ePerson) to search for users or (&(cn=%v)(|(objectclass=groupOfNames)(objectclass=groupOfUniqueNames))) to search for groups in an external LDAP repository.
If a search filter is not specified, the object classes and the relative distinguished name (RDN®) properties are used to generate the search filter.
