The Tivoli Enterprise
Portal Server extended services (TEPS/e) has an administrative
console (ISCLite) that you can access for configuring an LDAP registry
that is not supported by the IBM® Tivoli® Monitoring installation
programs: Manage Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Services and itmcmd command
line configuration utilities.
You can
also use the TEPS/e administration
console to
configure SSL for communication with the LDAP server and with other
applications that send requests to either the dashboard data provider or the IBM Tivoli Monitoring charting
web service.
You must use the TEPS/e administration
console to configure
portal server LDAP user authentication if you specified Other as
the LDAP type when you configured the portal server during installation,
or when you used the Manage Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Services utility
or itmcmd command line interface. You must also
use the TEPS/e administration
console to
configure LDAP connection details if you plan to perform the following
tasks:- Use an LDAP server other than Microsoft Active
Directory Server or Tivoli Directory
Server.
- Configure TLS/SSL communication between the portal server and the LDAP server.
- Configure advanced LDAP configuration parameters that can be specified
in the TEPS/e administration
console but
not in the other portal server configuration utilities.
Important: Any
LDAP customization made within the TEPS/e administration
console are overwritten
and cleared any time the portal server is
reconfigured unless you chose the LDAP type of Other during portal server configuration through Manage Tivoli Monitoring Services or the itmcmd command
line interface configuration utilities. When Other is
chosen, the LDAP user registry information is handled by TEPS/e and is not affected by
the other portal server configuration utilities.
