Configuring LDAP authentication for Tomcat

You can configure IBM® Rational® Asset Manager, IBM Rational Team Concert™, and Tomcat for LDAP authentication.

Before you begin

For IBM WebSphere® Application Server, you can configure LDAP authentication for both WebSphere Application Server and Rational Asset Manager in the server setup application. For more information, see Deploying and configuring application files by using the server setup application.

Before you do the following procedure, you must deploy and configure both Rational Asset Manager and Rational Team Concert by using file-based security:
  1. Deploying the server applications on Apache Tomcat
  2. Configuring the Rational Asset Manager server application

About this task

If you installed Rational Team Concert on a separate Tomcat server, you do not need to configure LDAP authentication for Rational Team Concert; the included Rational Team Concert uses a single user, so file-based security is sufficient.

Follow the instructions in the topics below to configure both Rational Asset Manager and Rational Team Concert on Tomcat to use LDAP authentication.

Procedure

  1. Configure the Tomcat server for Rational Asset Manager to use LDAP.
  2. Configure the Tomcat server for Rational Team Concert to use LDAP
