Configuring the External LDAP Directory Server

If you are installing a system that is intended for production use (generally a Distributed BPM System), you must use an external LDAP directory server.

Procedure

  • Make sure that:
    • the LDAP server is running.
    • an LDAP directory on this LDAP server contains the user that you want to use as the tibco-admin user.
      Note: This LDAP directory may also hold details of other LDAP users who may need to log in to ActiveMatrix BPM, but it does not have to. You can configure additional LDAP connections to other LDAP directories as a post-installation task - see Creating Any Other Required LDAP Connections to LDAP Directories .
    • the user that you want to use as the tibco-admin user has at least read access to the LDAP directory that you intend to use.

    You will use this information in the ActiveMatrix BPM: LDAP Configuration screen when you run the Create TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM Server Wizard.
