RTC, WAS and LDAP

Luca Martinucci (1.0k●2●94●112) | asked Nov 18 '11, 3:42 a.m.
I have successfully installed and deployed RTC 3.0.1 on WAS.
In addition, I have configured the WAS-LDAP integration (from WAS admin console), and the RTC-LDAP integration (from the RTC setup wizard).
The integrations works, as LDAP users are recognized by RTC, and the nightly synchronization was successful, but there's a point I am still missing: why is it necessarty to configure this integration twice?
Wouldn't it be enough to WAS-LDAP integration alone?
In fact, I don't understand the need for an additional RTC-LDAP integration.

RTC/LDAP for authorization doesn't sound right. RTC does it's own
authorization.

I would have said that RTC (via the JTS) uses LDAP to populate
information in the Jazz "user objects" (such as user name, user ID,
email address, and repository groups it belongs to). I suppose that the
repository groups do have something to do with authorization, but the
primary authorization mechanisms in RTC are via roles and membership in
the Adminstrator list of a project area.

Cheers,
Geoff

I asked the same question before. The answer is: WAS/LDAP is for
authentication and RTC/LDAP is for authorization.
