EPM 11.1.2: Using LDAP with BugTracker

Hi,
I'm using EPM 11.1.2 as production env with NativeDirectory and I'd like to use Redmine as bugtracker for my support of EPM.
I need for integration it's LDAP and my bugtracker (Redmine).
I found this: http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/RedmineLDAP
--Can you tell me BaseDN string to connect for LDAP? dc=users or dc=css,dc=hyperion,dc=com--
What is port number for connect to LDAP? 389 doesn't works.
Ohh... http://john-goodwin.blogspot.com/2010/05/epm-1112-life-after-openldap.html :(
Does it possible to using SSO?

You can't connect Redmine to the EPM native directory because it does not emulate an LDAP interface. Native user management is based on a relational database.
But EPM can be (and usually is) integrated to one or more external LDAP directories (Microsoft Active Directory, Novell, or anything else the supports the LDAP v3 standard). In most environments there are only a handful of native administrator users on an EPM system and all the regular users are external users (although they are often grouped into native groups). Could you not integrate Redmine with the same external directory as EPM? Then your users should be able to log into both Redmine and EPM using their external directory credentials.

How do I use LDAP with iMQ 2.0?

I am looking for an example to see how to use LDAP with iMQ 2.0.
I was able to set up the config settings to access a local LDAP,
but iMQ authentication still rejects valid logins.
Let me know if I can find more info someplace.

You can also find an example I put togther in the Sun One knowledge base.

How to use LDAP with Oracle forms 10g on Oracle application server

Hi,
I need some help on this. I have developed oracle forms 10g on application server 9iAS. The client want to use the existing LDAP authentication to the software we wrote. I do not know how I could configure to use the existing LDAP authentication . If anyone know how would I use the existing LDAP on different server to use when they logon to our menu in 10g to validate the user. Do I need to add any varibales in formweb.cfg or any other method. Please help.
Thanks
Luksh

I am not quite sure if this works out of the box. According to an Oracle FAQ:
4.2 Can I use LDAP to authenticate Forms Services?
Not directly. However, Oracle Login Server is able to authenticate against a LDAP directory and thus a Forms application can take advantage of this in a SSO environment. But you cannot use access control information stored in a LDAP directory with Forms.

Can anyone guide me of using LDAP with JSP?

I am a beginner in java. Plz post your answers in a simple and easy manner and explain it clearly. I am doing a project for which I require to use LDAP in JSP.

I assume he wants to use LDAP to authenticate user logon in a JSP application.
There are a few ways, JNDI being one. But a simpler method might be to see if this library works for you:

Using LDAP with query on groups

Hi,
I configured our SAP Portal with LDAP authentification(+UME) successfully - so far so good. I used the standard configuration file (dataSourceConfiguration_ads_readonly_db.xml).
Now I would like to filter the LDAP users and grant access only to users within a LDAP group.
Is there a way to build a query for this case (datasource configuration file, etc...)?
Thanks for your help...
Bernd Hülsebusch

Hi Shantanu,
thanks for your fast reply!
The problem is, that we have about 5.000 users in our LDAP system (Exchange), this includes several system users and also special users for e.g. domain administration, etc. Only about 2000 users are really respective portal users and only these users should have access to the portal generally. The intention is to filter the redundant users, so we won't have problems with SAP licenses for users who never should be able use the portal.
I didn't mean how to provide access to some content within the portal. I know that this is this is realized with roles and groups in the portal.
Best regards, Bernd Hülsebusch

Password character limit using LDAP with HPUX 10.20?

Hi,
I'm a little new to this, so sorry if this is a bit of a daft question - we've got an LDAP server running under HPUX 11.00 and it seems our HPUX 10.20 machines only authenticate against the first 8 characters of the users password. System security policy rules for the password in SAM are set to a higher value and HPUX 11.00 machines have no trouble with lengthy passwords at all.
Can anyone recommend anything to check or do?
Thanks greatly in advance,
Neseem.

Hi,
The ldap server password length is 8 char this has nothing to do with the password lenght which you have set in the HP UX SAM.The ldap pasword lenght is 8 char long which ever OS it may be installed that's the standard lenght they have set in the Directory server product itself.

Using LDAP as Naming and Directory Services of Weblogic

Hi All,
I wan to use LDAP(using Netscape Directory Server 4.2 as LDAP server) with weblogic5.1. I want that beans should be bound this LDAP server when they are deployed. For this what I have to change in configuration?
Anyother suggestions related to using LDAP with weblogic are welcome. In this regard, I want to ask whether weblogic application server has LDAP server built into it or not.
Thanks and Regards,
sudarson

As I understand from your reply, you are suggesting me to bind the beans to LDAP server within the bean class's setentitycontext ? Is it so ? Can we not configure even this feature in weblogic6.0 also ? One thing more, if do this kind of thing then jndiname will be hardcoded into the bean class and can't be changed by simply editing the deployment descriptor. Pls suggest.
Regards,
sudarson

Java ftp server which can use LDAP, how to integrate with WLS' implementation of LDAP?

Howdy.
I'm setting up a java ftp server
(http://www.mycgiserver.com/~ranab/ftp/index.html) which is capable of using
LDAP for it's user security. I would like to integrate this ftp server with
wls' implementation of LDAP so I only have to admin one user list.
Does wls put it's user list in the LDAP or in it's own proprietary setup? I
tried playing around with it, but the users don't seem to appear in the JNDI
tree. Is this where the LDAP stuff is located? I thought it was in there?
If it's in it's own setup, is there a way to propagate the users to LDAP?
If these look like newbie Q&A, I guess they kind of are, I'm new to LDAP.
Thanks for any input you might have.

Peter,
If you are talking about using the embedded LDAP server in WLS 7.0 for this purpose
I think you are going done the wrong path.
Look at the following URL on how to use an external LDAP server for your custom
application

Any issues with using LDAP on LINUX for GRC 5.2 UME?

Our company is converting our LDAP servers from AIX to LINUX. The DNS name used in our UME connection should not change. Are there any issues with using LDAP on LINUX? We are currently on GRC 5.2 SP9 (in the middle of upgrading to SP12).
Also, I have been trying to connect our test UME system to a test LDAP box that has already been converted to LINUX but keep getting a 'connection failed' error when I try to test it.
Do you have to reboot the server to test changing the LDAP connections? I've been trying it by going into UME, pulling up the LDAP tab, hitting the Modify button, entering the new userid and password for test LDAP, and hitting the Test Connection button. I've verified that this userid and password is correct for test LDAP.
Is there a way to get more information about why the connection failed?
Thanks.

I've been told by our LDAP Support group that none of the other configuration settings should have to be changed. I should only have to change the id and password to connect to a test version of LDAP instead of our regular connection to the production LDAP.
Can you test a connection for a different userid/password without having to reboot/restart the server? Do I need to change these two settings, save then, reboot/restart, and then do the Test Connection button?
Thanks.

INTEGRATING PUBLISHER WITH OBI EE SECURITY USING LDAP

Hi !
Just learned about how integrating BI Publisher with OBI EE Security had to be set. (SA SYSTEM blah blah blah)
My question is : what if my OBI EE security is already based on LDAP server ? How do I manually insert user logon in SA_USER as I'm supposed to do ? No way...any turnaround ? Should I base my BI PUB security on the LDAP server ?
Thanks in advance
Yannis

Hi,
I too have the same question.
Could you please let us know whether using "Oracle BI server" security model in BIP would address the SSO between Oracle BI and BI Publisher when BI uses LDAP authentication?
Also I am facing some issues in setting up BI security in BIP.
The issue is that, when logged into BIP as Administartor, Roles and Permissions tab of Admin displays only two roles namely "Administrator" and "XMLP_TEMPLATE_ONLINE".
SA subject area is also set.
Could you please let me know your thoughts on the same?
Thanks in Advance.

Authentication Problem with ACS 5.2 Using LDAP

HI!
I want to use LDAP for connecting to active directory but I get this Error from ACS 5.2 ( 22056 subject not found in the applicable identity stores).Is there anyone who can HELP me?
I used this configuration in ACS 5.2:
Users and Identity Stores / External identity store / ldap / Directory Organization
Subject ObjectClass : User
Subject Name attribute ; sAMAccountName
Group ObjectClass : Group
Group Map Attribute : MemberOf

Two questions:
- did you press "Test Bind to Server" from LDAP "Server Connection" tab and "Test Configuration" from "Directory Organization" tab?
- did you select the LDAP database as the result in the identity policy?

Configure WebSphere Portal Server to use LDAP (Oracle Internet Directory)

I did configuration for WebSphere Portal to use security with LDAP Oracle Internet Directory (OID). The script for configuring works well (WPSConfig.bat action-secure-portal-ldap)
But when i start Portal Server it cannot start successfully. I did check in log file and found a error on SystemOut.log as attachment log below. I don't know what happen with WebSphere Portal Server.
If you guys know how to fix it please let me know or point me some documents to configure this again.
Thanks in advanced.

There is no clear documentation available to enable custom security but IBM info center has decent documentation for LDAP based security. I would say follow the steps mentioned for IBM directory and then modify the necessary configuration parameters for OID. This should solve your issues. For better help open a PMR with IBM to get necessary quick help.

ASA WebVPN. How do you restrict access to users in an AD group using LDAP?

Hi All,
I am trying to configure separate WebVPN connection profiles to give different portal bookmark contents to users based on their AD group membership. This has been very difficult, even though I beleive it should be easy.
The login page of teh ASA by default has a dropdown to allow default users to access the default portal and the SSL VPN client connection.
There are two other portals that I would like to restrict access to based on AD group membership. I have set these up to be selected by URL.
The biggest problem is, I have no way of knowing how to go about this. The AAA LDAP options show a group membership search, which I have configured, but I cannot say "Profile X is restricted to AD group CarpetBaggers", so that if soneone that is NOT a carpetbagger tries to log in, it fails.
I can only do an all or nothing scenario.
It would be nice to use Dynamic Access Policies to do this, and I have created a few, but they do NOT seem to work when the drop down aliases or URLs are in use. So how do I go about using them in this scenario? Turning off the aliases or URLs is not really an option right now.
Scenario 1 would work the best for me. Restrict access to profiles/groups based on AD group membership using LDAP.
Scenario 2 would be an ideal longer term solution.
Any thoughts, ideas or assitance would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

This is exactly what i was looking for, and Nelson is correct. When you enter the DAP configuration for a profile click on "Advanced" and there is the option to create a logical expression. The guide (ther is a button to access this) is really helpful, with a couple of examples. This is what i used:
assert(function()
   if ( (type(aaa.ldap.distinguishedName) == "string") and
        (string.find(aaa.ldap.distinguishedName, "OU=Users") ~= nil) )
then
       return true
   end
   return false
end)()
from the debug dap you can see what Users relates to;
DAP_TRACE: Username: MyUsername, aaa.ldap.distinguishedName = CN=Mr B,OU=Users,OU=Site ******,DC=CH,DC=Mycompany,DC=com
My admin account fails to get me in to the same profile:
DAP_TRACE: dap_add_to_lua_tree:aaa["ldap"]["distinguishedName"]="CN=Admin Mr B,OU=Admin Users,OU=Site *****,DC=CH,DC=Mycompany,DC=com"

Whereas /etc/default/passwd on the ldap client says passwords must be 8 characters. This is seen with the pam_authtok_check: minimum length from /etc/default/passwd: 8
. It is clearly not using the policy from the directory server but checking locally. So I can login ok using the ldap server for authentication but when I try to change the password it does not use the policy from the server which says I only need a minimum lenght of 6 characters.
I have read that pam_ldap is only supported for directory server 5.2. Because I am running ds6 and with password compatability in ds6 mode maybe this is my problem. Does anyone know of any updated pam_ldap modules for solaris 9?
Edited by: ericduggan on Sep 8, 2008 5:30 AM

you can try passwd -r ldap for changing the ldap passwds...

Defining webtops for LDAP with DSI doesn't work

Hi,
I'm using LDAP successfully as my login authority.
I'm trying to define custom webtop for certain groups in my organization with no success although I follow the instructions exactly :
http://docs.sun.com/source/819-4309-10/en-us/base/standard/using_dsi.html
Any idea how to debug this issue ?
Also I would like to understand the right way to add persons from LDAP to global administrators group.
Thanks a lot,
Zeev

Hi,
I've realized what's the problem but I don't know how to solve it.
When Secure Global Desktop searches for members of LDAP groups it searches for users in the uniquemember, member, and uniqueMember attributes on group objects.
On our LDAP server , the members are in different object ( memberUid ) then those mentioned above.
Here is the list of relevant attributes :
tarantella config list --com.sco.jndi.toolkit.utils.LDAPUserCollection.properties
cacheLifeTime: 600000
directAttributes: { uniquemember, member, uniqueMember, memberUid }
flushCacheTimeoutMs: 43200000
groupAttributes: { uniquemember, member }
groupMatches: { !uid=* }
maximumGroupDepth: 0
nameConverter: 0
reverseAttributes: { nsroledn, memberOf }
searchAttributes: { memberurl }
userShortAttributes: { <No elements in the array> }
As you can see , I've added the memberUid to the directAttributes but it's still doesn't help.
Please help :)
Thanks
Zeev
