5.5 Configuring LDAP access

When upgrading, use the following procedure as a guideline when configuring User Management to support authentication using LDAP.

If you configured LDAP with LiveCycle ES Update 1 or LiveCycle ES2, those settings are migrated during the upgrade process, and you do not need to perform the steps in this section. If you did not previously configure LDAP, you can use the following procedure as a guideline when configuring User Management to support authentication using LDAP.

    5.5.1 Configure User Management (Local Domain)

    1. Open a web browser, navigate to http://[host]:[port]/adminui, and log in. (See 5.1.6.1 Accessing Administration Console .)

    2. Click Settings > User Management > Domain Management, and then click New Local Domain.

    3. In the appropriate boxes, enter the domain ID and name. (See “Adding local domains” in Administration help.)

    4. (Optional) Disable account locking by deselecting the Enable Account Locking option.

    5. Click OK.

    5.5.2 Configure User Management with LDAP (Enterprise Domain)

    1. Open a web browser, navigate to http://[host]:[port]/adminui and log in. (See 5.1.6.1 Accessing Administration Console.)

    2. Click Settings > User Management > Domain Management, and then click New Enterprise Domain.

    3. In the ID box, type a unique identifier for the domain and, in the Name box, type a descriptive name for the domain.

      Note: When using MySQL for your LiveCycle database, use only single-byte (ASCII) characters for the ID. (See “Adding enterprise domains” in Administration Help.)

    4. Click Add Authentication and, in the Authentication Provider list, select LDAP.

    5. Click OK.

    6. Click Add Directory and, in the Profile Name box, type a name for your LDAP profile.

    7. Click Next.

    8. Specify values in the Server, Port, SSL, and Binding boxes, and in the Populate Page with box, select a directory settings option such as Default Sun ONE values. Also, specify values in the Name and Password box that would be used to connect to the LDAP database when anonymous access is not enabled. (See “Directory settings” in Administration Help.)
