Configure BusinessObjects LDAP Authentication

When configuring LDAP authentication, the LDAP Server Administration Credentials “cn” value must be the fully qualified name (First Name, Last Name). Configuring LDAP authentication allows you to map LDAP attributes to use the end-user logon name.

Important! The user Account Name for BusinessObjects must match the CA SDM contact User ID when configuring LDAP authentication.

To configure BusinessObjects LDAP authentication

  1. Access the Authentication management area of the Central Management Console (CMC).
  2. Double-click LDAP.
  3. Enter the name and port number of your LDAP hosts in the Add LDAP host (hostname:port) field. For example, "myserver:123".
  4. Click Add and then OK.
  5. Select Custom for the server type from the LDAP Server Type list.
  6. Follow the prompts in the CMS configuration wizard and complete the configuration.

    BusinessObjects LDAP authentication is configured.

Note: For more information about configuring LDAP Authentication, see the CMS Online Help and the BusinessObjects Enterprise Administrator's Guide.
