ADAM Server Information

You only have to gather ADAM server information if you plan on using an ADAM server as a policy store.

Gather the following required information to configure an ADAM server as a policy store. You can use the ADAM Server Information Worksheet to record your values.

• System IP address—Identify the IP address of the system where the ADAM server is installed.
• Server instance port number ‑ Determine the port number for the ADAM server instance.
• Root DN of the application partition—Identify the existing root DN location of the application partition in the ADAM server where the policy store schema data should be installed.

  Example: dc=ca,dc=com

• ADAM administrator domain name—Identify the full domain name, including the guid value, of the ADAM administrator.

  Example: CN=user1,CN=people,CN=Configuration,CN=<guid>

• ADAM administrator password—Identify the password for the ADAM administrator.
• Alternate LDAP administrator—By default, SOA Security Manager uses the LDAP administrator account to communicate with the LDAP server. You can, however, have the SOA Security Manager policy store administered through a different LDAP user account. Identify the complete administrator DN and password to configure SOA Security Manager in this way.

  Note: This user should have all of the necessary privileges to modify attributes and change passwords.

• SOA Security Manager Super User password—The predefined SOA Security Manager Super User account has maximum SOA Security Manager privileges. Determine the password for the SOA Security Manager Super User account.

  Limits: 6 to 24 alphanumeric characters.

  Note: We recommend that this account not be used for day-to-day operations. Rather, use the Super User account to access the FSS Administrative UI for the first time and create an administrator account with system configuration privileges.
