Enabling LDAP

You can use LDAP to enable user authentication in IBM® InfoSphere® Master Data Management Collaboration Server.

Before you begin

Before you can use LDAP to enable user authentication, you must log in to InfoSphere MDM Collaboration Server as the administrator. Ensure that the group or groups that are created in the LDAP server, matches exactly the roles that are created in InfoSphere MDM Collaboration Server. For example, if you created a role that is called pimreviewer in the InfoSphere MDM Collaboration Server environment, ensure that you have a group that is called pimreviewer in the LDAP server.

Procedure

  1. Open the Scripts Console in the user interface: Data Model Manager > Scripting > Scripts Console.
  2. In the drop-down menu at the top of the Scripts Console, select Login Script.
  3. In the Scripts Console window, click Edit to edit the Login.wpcs login script.
  4. In the Scriptlet Editor window, scroll down to the globals["wpcOnlyAuthentication"] parameter and set the value to false: 
    globals["wpcOnlyAuthentication"] = false;
  5. At the top of the Login Script [Edit: Login.wpcs] window, click Save to save the Login.wpcs login script and enable LDAP.

What to do next

You can now set up and enable LDAP on your LDAP server. See your product documentation for assistance.
