Hi Kartik,

We did it with the IBM LDAP server for our Jumpstart Server

Hi Philippe,

I am specially looking for LDAP server configuration with
Windows Active Directory. Do we have any installations with Active
Directory.

We did it with the IBM LDAP server for our Jumpstart Server

To what extent can the user authentication be done via LDAP / AD?

For instance, can I use AD instead of creating the Jazz users?

Or do I connect the application server (for us: Tomcat) to the AD in
order to authenticate https access to the Jazz web ui. If the latter, do
I have to name the users' ids according to the domain ID? So when a user
has logged in via WebUI, Jazz can identify him / her as Jazz users due
to matching id?

Hi Stefan,

Jazz itself does not do any user authentication. This left to the
AppServer/WebContainer that Jazz is deployed in. You do, however, have
to create a contributor for each of your users in Jazz. This is the
userid that will be needed to authenticate with. Checking the password
is handled by whatever authentication system is configured in the
AppServer.

So to answer your question specifically :

You cannot use AD to create the Jazz Users. Any user you add to AD must
also have a contributor created within Jazz with the same userid.

Hope that helps

Hello Richard

Hope that helps

Yes, it does :-)

Thanks a lot. I will go for Tomcat documentation regarding LDAP
authentication.

Thanks and regards,
Stefan
