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.
