How to Setup LDAP IN VIPR SRM

We recently set up our lab with LDAP, so we figured we would show some steps/ screenshots on how to do this

LDAP STEPS

1) Get the name of the Domain Controller that you will be using

2) Make sure that the name can be resolved from the SRM Frontend server (forward and backward) - you may need to use the IP address of the Domain Controller

3) Get the username and password that you will be using for your "BIND" account/.

4) Define the userBase and userSearch, if these are different (see below)

NOTE: the configuration shown in the screen-shots is for LDAPS and uses different ports than an LDAP configuration. LDAP usually defaults to port 389 but you should confirm with your Active Directory Administrator.

In ViPR SRM 3.7.1 the “derefAliases” attribute must be left out of the LDAP configuration – when not added to the attribute list it defaults to the proper configuration of “always”.
