Configure the LDAP Directory Server

Configure the LDAP directory server so that TIBCO BPM Enterprise can access the LDAP directories that hold the details of users who may need to be able to log in to TIBCO BPM Enterprise client applications.

Prerequisites

The LDAP directory server must be running.

Procedure

  1. Make sure that an LDAP directory on the LDAP server contains the user that you want to use as the tibco-admin user.
  2. Make sure that the user you want to use as the tibco-admin user has at least read access to each LDAP directory that you intend to use.
  3. Use the provided "utility" Docker image to configure the tibco-admin LDAP user.
  4. Usage:

    docker run -it --rm tibco/bpm/utility:5.0.0 utility -setupAdminUser

Example

Option Arguments Description
-setupAdminUser ldapAlias=<Alias> ldapDn=<LDAP DN> displayName=<Display Name> Configures the tibco-admin user to a custom LDAP and / or display name

Enclose argument values with spaces in single quotes, for example, ldapDn='UID=admin, OU=system'.

For example, to set the display name for the TIBCO Admin User to Administrator, run:

docker run -it --rm tibco/bpm/utility:5.0.0 utility -setupAdminUser ldapAlias=System displayName=Administrator
