How to Configure an Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition User Directory Connection

The following process lists the steps for creating an Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition user store connection:

1. Ping the user store system.
2. Configure the Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition user directory connection.

Ping the User Store System

Be sure to ping your user store system before configuring to verify that a network connection exists between the Policy Server and the user directory or database.

Note: Some user store systems may require the Policy Server to present credentials.

Configure Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition User Directory Connections

You configure a connection to let the Policy Server communicate with an Oracle Directory user store.

Follow these steps:

1. Click Infrastructure, Directory.
2. Select User Directories.
3. Click Create User Directory..
4. Complete the required connection information in the General and Directory Setup areas.
5. Configure the LDAP search and LDAP user DN lookup settings in the LDAP Settings area.
6. (Optional) Do the following in the Administrator Credentials area:
   1. Select Require Credentials.
   2. Enter the credentials of an administrator account.

      Note: Oracle recommends using an administrator account other than cn=Directory Manager. Using cn=Directory Manager can cause performance issues due to security policies applied to this account. Create a user with sufficient privileges to manage the directory and specify that user in Username.

7. (Optional) Specify the user directory profile attributes that are reserved for CA SiteMinder® use in the User Attributes area.
8. (Optional) Click Create in the Attribute Mapping List area to configure user attribute mapping.
9. Click Submit.

   The user directory connection is created.
