Enabling Authentication and Selecting Authentication Type

You can select either file-based authentication or LDAP-based authentication and enable it for the project.

Procedure

  1. In TIBCO BusinessEvents Studio, import and open the relevant project and open its CDD file, as follows:
    For TIBCO BusinessEvents Monitoring and Management:
    • BE_HOME/mm/project/emonitor > MM.cdd > mm-class agent class > properties > mm > auth property group
    • ToBeMonitored_Project > project.cdd > Cluster properties > auth property group
    For TIBCO BusinessEvents Decision Manager:
    • BE_HOME/rms/project/BRMS > RMS.cdd > Cluster properties > RMS property group

      For TIBCO BusinessEvents Views:

    For TIBCO BusinessEvents Views:
    • Your_Project > project.cdd > dashboard-class agent properties.
  2. In the CDD file add the following property if it is not present and specify the value as desired:
    be.auth.type=[file|ldap]

    For MM authentication use the property:

    be.mm.auth.type=[file|ldap]

  3. Do one of the following:
    • To configure LDAP authentication, add and configure the LDAP properties shown in Authentication Property Reference. Familiarity with LDAP is required. Details are not provided in this guide.
    • To configure file-based authentication, see Configuring File-Based Authentication.
      Note: For Active Directory Configuration, authentication requires the domain name, for example, abc@acme.com, and not distinguished name (which is used with Oracle Directory Server). If you are using Active Directory for authentication, ensure that the userPrincipalName attribute is set on AD server.
