Installing the Monitor LDAP Bridge

The Monitor LDAP Bridge component is necessary to be installed if you are using IBM WebSphere MQ Workflow 3.4 that depends on an LDAP server for acquiring the users’ information. In this case any changes in the users' information/definition that occurs in the LDAP server and are reflected in the MQ Workflow should be also reflected in BI Monitor in order to update the processes and organization information in BI Monitor with the changed information in MQ Workflow.

Installing the Monitor LDAP Bridge component will extract only a folder named ldapbridge in the specified destination directory. This folder contains a single .jar file named ldapbridge.jar. By running this jar file the users information in BI Monitor will be updated with all changes that occurred in the LDAP Server from which the MQ Workflow obtains the users information.

The Monitor Server installation and deployment must be performed before installing the Monitor LDAP Bridge component.
