teamserver.properties file with LDAP configuration


Chris Heublein (161) | asked Jan 13 '09, 3:20 p.m.
Hello,

I am trying to cinfigure RQM on a Windows server to use LDAP authentication from my Active Directory. I am able to configure everything in the Jazz Team Server setup and it even test successfully. However, when I click on next and the web interface tries to save.. I recieve an error that the LDAP config could not be saved. Check your server log. Of course, there is nothing about this error in the server log.

My understanding is that the web interface updates the teamserver.properties file with the LDAP configuration.

I have not been able to find any sort of template so that I can set up the teamserver.properties manully. So, I am wondering if anyone out there has a teamserver.properties file that successfully works and that I could use to base my configuration off of.

Thank you in advance!!

Chris

this is a sample ldap configuration. You need to change it according to your configuration.

(Assumptions :
User Id property in LDAP : uid
Name property in LDAP : cn
Email property in LDAP : mail

Group Name property in LDAP : cn
Group member property in LDAP : member )


com.ibm.team.repository.ldap.registryLocation=ldap://localhost:389

com.ibm.team.repository.ldap.baseUserDN=ou=people,dc=jazz,dc=net
com.ibm.team.repository.ldap.userAttributesMapping=userId=uid,name=cn,emailAddress=mail
com.ibm.team.repository.ldap.findUsersByUserIdQuery=uid=?1
com.ibm.team.repository.ldap.findUsersByNameQuery=cn=?1*
com.ibm.team.repository.ldap.findUsersByAnyNameQuery=(| (cn=* ?1*) (cn=*_?1*))

com.ibm.team.repository.ldap.baseGroupDN=ou=JazzGroups,dc=jazz,dc=net
com.ibm.team.repository.ldap.groupNameAttribute=cn
com.ibm.team.repository.ldap.findGroupsForUserQuery=member={USER-DN}
com.ibm.team.repository.ldap.groupMapping=JazzAdmins=JazzAdmins,JazzUsers=JazzUsers,JazzDWAdmins=JazzDWAdmins,JazzGuests=JazzGuests
com.ibm.team.repository.ldap.membersOfGroup=member

I ran into a similar problem where I tried to update the LDAP settings
using either the "jazz/admin" and "jazz/setup" pages. I was unable to
save the settings and would get the "check the server log" error.

It turned out that I had updated the tomcat server "web.xml"
incorrectly. I had placed the <security> entries outside of
the <servlet> section.

Once I fixed that and restarted the server it started to work correctly.
