You can configure CA Directory to be the directory service
for FileNet® P8.
Make sure to consider the following requirements:
- The Windows server where
CA Directory Server is installed must have an NTFS hard drive partition.
- The CA Directory administrator might have to create an index if
the sorting attribute is not in the list of default attributes shipped
by CA Directory.
- Access control settings in FileNet P8 require
that all users have Browse access on the directory server. If you
do not want to set Browse access at the individual user level, it
is a best practice to establish a Public trustee for the realm.
- FileNet P8 supports
cross-realm group memberships. This means that FileNet P8 supports a configuration
in which a group is in one realm while some or all of its users are
in another.
- Server
Side Sorting (SSS) must be enabled. This is because FileNet P8 components call on Content Platform Engine to perform searches
using a sorted paging mechanism. Note that SSS is normally enabled
by default but is sometimes disabled due to concerns with performance.
