pb configuring LDAP for RTC


Hamouda LAYOUNI (212) | asked Dec 15 '08, 9:37 a.m.
Hi,

I'm new to RTC, It's my first install :)

During 'Setup User Registry', I choose LDAP as user management method. My proble is when testing the connection without User Name (anonymous mode) I have no warning but when putting the username (to use instead od default ADMIN account) I have the following message :

LDAP connection was attempted with warnings. Resolve warnings or click Next to continue.
Cannot connect to LDAP directory "ldap://ldap.mycompany.com:389".

Any idea about this ?

Thanks & Best Regards,
Hamouda

ldap4dummies talks about configuring LDAP for internal IBM use.

If you cannot login to RTC, you have not configured your tomcat container to authenticate with LDAP. Please take a look at the tech notes

https://jazz.net/learn/LearnItem.jsp?href=content/tech-notes/jazz-team-server-1_0-user-management-in-jazz/index.html

and

I set up my server using the instructions here:

By leaving the LDAP anonymous login sttings, I succeed to import users from LDAP and then trying to login with this users to RTC it fails.

That's my pb, I didn't succeed to configure RTC to work with LDAP

It sounds like you might be confusion the LDAP authentication with your
Jazz/RTC authentication. The username and password on that page are
used to authenticate with your LDAP server, and don't have anything to
do with the Jazz/RTC users.

You can leave the LDAP anonymous login setting and still disable your
Jazz/RTC ADMIN user

I want to use my login in order to disable the default ADMIN account.

you
can likely use the anonymous mode without problems.
