LDAP Authentication (optional)

An LDAP Authentication shared resource represents configuring the connection to an LDAP server. This connection is used by component implementations to look up names in an LDAP directory server.

LDAP authentication is primarily used for HTTP basic authentication in ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ 6.x.

LDAP support for user authentication for bwagent REST API enables authentication of the user when the bwagent runs. This is required because when a bwagent runs, it exposes some webservices and REST API.

  2. Enter details for LDAP Server URL, Bind DN, Bind DN LDAP Password, Base DN, User Objectclass, User RDN Attribute, User ID Attribute, User Password Attribute, Role Base DN, Role Name Attribute, Role Member Attribute, Role Objectclass, LDAP Username and LDAP Password . If you select the Connect to LDAP over SSL checkbox, then upload the LDAP Sever Certicate by clicking the Upload button.
