Creating an LDAP Connection Resource Template

The LDAP Connection resource template defines the connection details of the LDAP directory you want to use.

Create a new LDAP Connection resource template with the following properties:

  • Name - The name must be in the format ldap/de/LDAPAlias, where LDAPAlias is a unique name that is used to identify this LDAP connection, for example, ldap/de/corporateHQ.
    Note: When you use the Organization Browser to create a new LDAP Container, the LDAPAlias names of the available LDAP connections are displayed in the Alias field in the LDAP Container Editor.
  • Scope - Set the Scope of the resource template to Application, and select the instance of the BPM application for which this template is to be scoped.
    Note: All resource templates for use with an instance of ActiveMatrix BPM, including those for user applications, must be scoped in the same way.
  • Provider URL - Type the URL that identifies this LDAP directory - for example ldap://localhost:10801/o=easyAsInsurance.
    Note: Any unsafe characters in the URL must be represented by a special sequence of characters called escaping. For example, a space must be represented as %20. Thus, the DN ou=Product Development must be encoded as ou=Product%20Development.
  • login Credentials - Select Username + Password from the drop-down list.
  • Username - Type the Distinguished Name (DN) of an LDAP user that has (at least) read access to the LDAP directory specified in Provider URL -
  • Password - Type the password of the LDAP user specified in Username.
