We have corporate logins in an LDAP directory, but with the restriction that online access may be done for authentication only, and not for anything that even faintly smells like synchronization.
Does anyone know whether this is possible in DOORS (7.1) and how it would have to be configured? User attributes (first&last name, email address) would be managed based on a flat-file export from the directory; all I want DOORS to do is the authentication against LDAP once a user enters his/her account name. Additional questions: - Does the authentication against LDAP originate from the client or the DOORS server? (Actually I need to do this via LDAP/SSL, which I could more easily do with stunnel from the server) - Is the password transfer between encrypted? Any help is very much appreciated :-) Dietmar Berg |

I haven't seen anything that would indicate that LDAP authentication is possible in version 7.1. That functionality is supposed to be in version 8.0 but since I haven't been able to work with 8.0 yet I can speak to the veracity of that.

Chapter 3 of "Managing DOORS" (DOORS 7.1 documentation) as well as the "DXL Reference Manual" write a lot about what to configure for LDAP operation, but they do not explain how it is actually used by the product (which is what I need to understand to decide whether I can use it for our purpose)
Not many people seem to use it, though... --------------- Dietmar Berg Alcatel Austria AG Tools Support |
