initial LDAP setup through the menus (/jazz/setup)
I've entered initial configuration on my RTC server using http://<servername>:9443/jazz/setup. At this point, the only userid in the sysytem is the default - ADMIN/ADMIN. I get to the end of the LDAP configuration page and try to hit next, but I get the error message "
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? |

I've entered initial configuration on my RTC server using 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! Kristen |
