Answer 1

To provision LDAP user information for P6 EPPM for the first time:
Caution: Ensure that all users are logged out of P6 EPPM to avoid a reset of the P6 Administrator application settings.
Note: Verify which global profile is set as the default since this will be assigned to all provisioned users.
1) Log into the P6 Administrator application.
2) From the Authentication tab:
a. Fill in the appropriate settings under the Authentication folder, and make sure that Login Mode is set to NATIVE.
b. Fill in the appropriate settings under Database instance, and make sure that Authentication Mode is set to NATIVE.
c. Click Save Changes.
3) Restart the application server instance.
Note: If you do not restart the application server instance, the settings will be restored to the previous configuration after the next step.
4) Log into P6 as a user with privileges to create a new user.
5) Creating User Accounts for P6 EPPM to add a new user (in Native mode) that exactly matches an LDAP server user with rights to read the LDAP directory. Make sure to assign a global profile that contains privileges to add new users and search the LDAP directory and assign the appropriate project profiles and module access.
6) Log back into the P6 Administrator application.
7) From the Authentication tab:
a. Change Login Mode to LDAP.
b. Change Authentication Mode to LDAP.
c. Right-click the LDAP Connection Settings folder and select Test Connection.
d. Click Save Changes.
8) Restart the application server instance
Note: If you do not restart the application server instance, the settings will be restored to the previous configuration after the next step.
9) Log into P6 as the LDAP user created in step 5.
a. On the Users page, click the Add icon. The Add Users from LDAP dialog box appears for you to provision users from the LDAP repository:
Note: You must have the Add/Edit/Delete Users privilege and the Provision Users from LDAP privilege to search the LDAP directory. You do not need the Provision Users from LDAP privilege to import users from an LDIF file.
1. Either click the Load LDIF button, or enter an LDAP query (for example, uid=*) under Search users. If a search was previously performed by a user with the privilege to search the LDAP directory, the last query entered by that user will appear.
2. If you clicked the Load LDIF button, browse to the location of the LDIF file, and click Open. If you entered an LDAP query, click Search.
Note: Depending on your P6 administrative configuration settings, you might be prompted to log into the LDAP server.
3. A list of users will appear, grouped by status. For example, LDAP repository users that do not exactly match P6 EPPM users will be grouped together. If users exist in the LDAP repository, the User Name, Actual Name, E-mail, and Phone fields are populated (if you previously mapped those fields through the P6 Administrator application settings).
Note: The User Name field is equivalent to the Login Name field in P6. The Actual Name field is equivalent to the Personal Name field.
4. Select the option next to each user account that you wish to import, or select the option in the fields bar to select all users. New and modified users are automatically selected.
5. Click Import.
Note: The new users will be assigned the default global profile.
follow the above mentioned procedure and let me know if its working.
