Resolving Credential Types for LDAP Organization

The authentication requests that are presented to the AuthMinder Server must specify the type of credential that has to be used to process the request. If the input requests are presented with the unknown credential type, then such requests are resolved to any password-based mechanism supported by AuthMinder.

To resolve the credential types for the LDAP-based organization created in the "Creating Organization in LDAP Repository" section:

1. Ensure that you are logged in as the Global Administrator (GA) created in the "Creating Organization in LDAP Repository" section.
2. Activate the Services and Server Configurations tab on the main menu.
3. Ensure that the WebFort tab in the submenu is active.
4. Under the Miscellaneous Configurations section, click the Credential Type Resolution link to display the Credential Type Resolution Configuration page.
5. In this page:
   • Create a new configuration with the name, for example, LDAPResolution.
   • In the Resolve Plain to field, select LDAP Password.
6. Save the configuration.
7. Apply this configuration using the Assign Default Configurations page.

   Book: Refer to the Assigning Default Configurations section in chapter, "Managing Global AuthMinder Configurations" of CA AuthMinder Administration Guide for more information.
