63 out of 81 users are not populated using IBM blueGroups


Chris Chinchiolo (8621816) | asked Jan 27 '09, 6:32 p.m.
I have an RTC V1.0.1 using IBM blue Groups and for some strange reason the tool is only getting 3/4 of the users from the IBM BGs. When I try to add a user manually it will not show up in the import users. Has anyone seen this type of issue? I have this running on 5 RTC machines but this one has more users and is the only one brought to my attention.

That sort of behavior is common when your LDAP settings are not quite
right. Specifically, that can happen when user search string does not
result in a unique value for the each user.

I double checked the wiki page on Bluepages LDAP and found that it had
the wrong values. I've updated it:
https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/LDAP4Dummies#LDAP_configuration_parameters_fo

User Search changed to "(preferredIdentity={0})"
User Property Names Mapping changed to
"userId=preferredIdentity,name=cn,emailAddress=mail"

there were few more errors in the wiki. Updated it with the correct values.

The only change you need to make is to update the user properties mapping to userId=preferredIdentity,name=cn,emailAddress=mail in the setup wizard (https://{serverName}:9443/jazz/setup). The wizard will update the queries used by Jazz to retrieve the members in the LDAP directory.
