Scenario 2: LDAP Authentication without Group Membership

This workflow describes the steps for authenticating a user without group membership.

In this scenario, the user is authenticated against the LDAP server with a user ID and a user-supplied password.
    Procedure
  1. User provides a username and password to log in.
  2. Login request is received by the TIBCO Data Science - Team Studio back end.
  3. The TIBCO Data Science - Team Studio back end verifies that the username is a registered/licensed user. Note that we are not authenticating the user's password at this time. We are only verifying that the user is a valid TIBCO Data Science - Team Studio user.
  4. The TIBCO Data Science - Team Studio back end sends an authentication request to the LDAP server. The request parameters consist of a Distinguished Name (DN) and user supplied password. The DN is obtained by querying the LDAP server.
  5. LDAP Server authenticates the user and returns.
  6. If the user is authenticated successfully by the LDAP server, the Team Studio back end sends the user to the dashboard page. If the LDAP server fails to authenticate the user, an appropriate error message is displayed to the user.
