LDAP configuration

Hi everyone,

My first time here

I have a question I hope wont sound silly.

Recently I've built documentum environment so I can learn about the product
.

Now after much reading and trying I have content Server, app server, repository, data base, I logged through webtop and DA and everything works just fine, the guides I downloaded from EMC where really helpful.

Now I'm trying to set LDAP connection to a DC server I have and everything looks good:

When I check the log in the content server: C:\Documentum\dba\log\0001e240\sysadmin\LDAPSynchronizationDoc.txt 

Everything looks fine – I can see how it synced all the users successfully from the active directory.

Inside  the DA under LDAP Server – my LDAP configuration also  looks fine – it's enabled and the" sync  type" category is on full.

Inside Job management – Jobs: the DM_LDAPS Synchronization roll is Active.

Though my problem appears to be when I'm going inside User management – Users: to see if the sync worked between the Active Directory and the repository.

To my surprise the list is empty, the sync worked but I don’t have even one name or group from AD.

I suspect that something in the property mapping is not configured like it should but I can't figure what (I attached a JPG with the properties)

Does anyone have an idea what I did wrong?

Thanks a lot!!

For all of you out there who face the same problem:

i found the soloution, as i suspected the answer was in the Property Mapping:

go to: Da---Administration---Basic configuration---LDAP Servers

select your server and choose properties than mapping tab

scroll down to the Propert Mapping and mark the User_Login_Name - choose Edit

Under the "map to" i had "uid" - which means clients with linox. because my client work on windows the choise should be - sAMAccountName.

thats it - problem Solved!!

thanks a lot and good luck :-)

Hi,

I am glad to hear that you resolved the issue.

The ADSI Editor which comes default on Server 2008 and is downloadable for Server 2003 is an excellent tool to map container names and ensure you are pointing your LDAP strings in the correct location.

You can launch the editor by entering the following in the run/search box  adsiedit.msc

Kind Regards,

Martin
