I've entered initial configuration on my RTC server using

of the LDAP configuration page and try to hit next, but I get the
error message "You need to be authenticated as a
user from LDAP to import your user and assign
licenses."... How? I haven't configured the
ability for jazz to find the ldap server yet.

I see lots of manual steps in
https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/LDAP4Dummies, that probably work
if you follow them without error. I'm just not understanding the
basic concept of an ldap configuration panel in the initial setup
flow that requires time-warped pre-configuration of the ldap settings
to get through. I feel like I must have fallen off track somewhere to
wind up lost like this.

What did I miss?

Hi Jeff,

Configuring your server for LDAP involves 2 separate steps:
1. Configure your web container (Tomcat or WAS) for LDAP
2. Configure Jazz Team Server for LDAP, using the Setup Wizard

The first step is configuring the web container to allow you to log into
the server as your user from LDAP. The second is teaching Jazz Team
Server about your LDAP configuration so that Jazz can import users from
your LDAP into the Jazz repository, assign Client Access Licenses to
that user, add the user to a team, etc.

There is a section on the "Setup User Registry" step of the Setup Wizard
that tries to clarify that you need to do step 1 first:

=====
Importing Your New User from LDAP

Completing the LDAP configuration step above will enable the Jazz Team
Server Setup to automatically import your initial user. Your application
server and LDAP server should be configured before you complete this
step, and you should be logged into this Setup application as a member
of the JazzAdmins role from your LDAP. When you complete this page and
click on the 'Next' button, your user will be imported into the
repository. Any Client Access Licenses you select below will be assigned
to your new user.
=====

The wiki page you posted has info to help you complete step 1. Once you
configure the web container, login to the setup wizard (/jazz/setup)
again as a user from your LDAP that is a member of the group you mapped
as JazzAdmins. You shouldn't be able to login as ADMIN/ADMIN unless
your LDAP has an ADMIN/ADMIN user.

Sorry for the confusion of the 2-step process. The Installation Guide
has a tip about logging into the setup wizard as your user from LDAP,
but it is really easy to miss. Hope this helps!
