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.
