What's LDAP import in standard version?

Hi,

In the download page, I saw the standard version contains a component named "LDAP import". In my understanding, we should config LDAP in websphere, rather than RTC.

So, what does LDAP Import means?

For LDAP functionality to work, you need to configure WAS to use LDAP and
change few configuration properties in Jazz.

LDAP Import means Jazz server allows Admins to import their LDAP users into
Jazz repository. You can either do a
- manual import of the users present in the LDAP registry using the
Import user function or
- let the nightly LDAP sync task sync up the user records between LDAP
directory and Jazz repository.

Do you have more information on this? I have my server setup to authenticate against LDAP, but the only way I have found of importing is importing one-by-one via the RTC client. Since I have hundreds of users in my LDAP repository, adding them this way is not feasible.

I've setup my Jazz server to use BluePages as my LDAP server according to the incredibly helpful LDAP4Dummies wiki page. I have a question on the nightly sync task. Would it sync over all the users in BluePages or just the ones in bluegroups that are mapped to Jazz roles?

It will sync only the users present in your bluegroups.

There is a configuration to enable / disable LDAP nightly sync task. I
believe we turned it on by default in Beta3.

Go to localhost:9443/jazz/admin page and look for Advanced Properties. The
property would be under LDAPNightlySync section. The property name is
"Enable LDAP nightly Sync".

Ahh, the problem is that I didn't know it was implemented yet :-) I seem to be running M6a. I'll grab RC4, thanks.
