Working With Organization Models and LDAP

Services are provided to perform various tasks involving LDAP containers and organization models.

  • Creating an LDAP Container
    Before resources can be mapped to groups or positions in an organization model, you must create an LDAP container from which the resources can be selected.
  • Mapping Users
    Mapping resources is an administrative task that will typically be performed before users start using the TIBCO BPM application.
  • Adding Values to Organization Model Attributes
    If you have attributes defined for the resources in your organization model, you can use operations from the OrgResourceService to work with those attributes.
  • Navigating the Organization Model
    The DirectoryService API enables applications to navigate the organization model to locate a particular organizational entity for work allocation.
  • Mapping Resource Attributes to LDAP Attributes
    When an organization model is created using the TIBCO Business Studio Organization Modeler, you can also create resource attributes. These attributes can contain data that the business process may access during runtime.
  • Using LDAP Filters
    An LDAP filter can be specified as a parameter when listing attribute names and saving LDAP containers.
  • Defining Secondary LDAP Sources in an LDAP Container
    Each LDAP container that you define must include one primary LDAP source. It can also include one or more secondary LDAP sources.
  • Organization Relationships
    When you are creating or editing an LDAP container, you can specify that the LDAP container have a relationship with one or more organizations.
  • Moving a Resource to Different LDAP Container
    You can change the LDAP references of a resource, for instance to move it to a different LDAP container. This may be desired if a resource has moved to a different part of the company.
