Configuring an LDAP connection

Configure an LDAP connection and import users.

Procedure

  1. Run the setup wizard and advance through the pages until you reach the Setup User Registry page. For more information about the setup wizard, see Running the Jazz™ Team Concert setup wizard for Rational® Engineering Lifecycle Manager applications.
  2. In Step 1, under User Registry Type, select LDAP.
  3. In Step 2, complete the fields. See LDAP configuration parameters for details.
  4. Generate web-LDAP and server-LDAP XML files by clicking Save Tomcat Config Files.
    Tip: You can see the name and location of the generated XML files by clicking show details in the message box.
  5. Replace the web.xml and server.xml files with the newly generated XML files. Be sure to copy the generated web.xml and server.xml files to the corresponding locations in all applications.
    Important: If you are setting up applications on separate servers, you must configure the Tomcat files on those servers.
  6. Restart Tomcat.
  7. Open a web browser window and go to https://host.example.com:9443/jts/setup, where host.example.com is the fully qualified host name for your server.
  8. Test the connection by logging on to your server by using a user ID that is in your LDAP external registry.
