Enable LDAP Authentication

When you enable LDAP authentication, the system authenticates users logging in to the Portal using the system LDAP server.

Follow these steps:

  1. In the Portal, click Administration, Settings, Properties Settings.

    The Properties Settings window appears.

  2. Set the following property files as follows:
    sage.security.disable.ADAuthentication

    Defines whether you enable Active Directory authentication. Set this value to False.

    Default: True

    security.ldap.server

    Defines the LDAP network server name.

    Default: adserver

    security.manager.dn

    Defines the distinguished name (DN) of the manager. The DN is often required only when using SSL authentication. The manager is AD_bind_account (example: administrator).

    Default: AD1\Administrator

    security.manager.password

    Defines the LDAP administrator password in your network.

    Default: eurekify

    security.authentication.ldap.server

    Defines the LDAP server host name.

    Default: none

    security.authentication.ldap.manager.dn

    Defines the LDAP administrator name.

    Default: none

    security.authentication.ldap.manager.password

    Defines the LDAP administrator password.

    Default: none

    security.authentication.ldap.rootContext

    Defines the name of the LDAP root context.

    Note: Provide this value if the customer has a unique Active Directory layout, or to ensure that the user search views the sub tree level only.

    Default: none

    security.authentication.ldap.disable.ssl

    Defines whether you enable SSL for CA Directory.

    Default: none

    security.authentication.ldap.lookupAttribute

    Defines the LDAP attribute that uniquely identifies a user.

    Note: This attribute corresponds to the PersonID attribute, which is a CA GovernanceMinder unique identifier.

    Default: uid

    security.authentication.ldap.disable

    Defines if LDAP authentication is disabled. Set this value to False to disable LDAP authentication.

    Default: True

    You have enabled LDAP authentication.
