Configuring the LDAP authentication

After the farm is successfully configured with Farm Expert, you must configure the LDAP authentication option in d/EPM Administration.

  1. Log on to d/EPM Administration with a basic administrator user name and password.

    To log on with basic users to an LDAP-configured farm, specify these credentials:

    User
    Basic:<user name>
    Password
    <password>
  2. Select d/EPM Administration > Dashboards Farm Administration > Repository dashboard.
    The Authentication Provider Settings show that LDAP is enabled.
  3. Click the Settings icon for LDAP.
  4. On the LDAP Authentication Provider Settings menu, select the General tab.
  5. Configure and test the connection to LDAP server.
  6. On the Users tab, specify the filter, by which to list users.
  7. Select the Membership through groups check box if your LDAP server does not allow querying the Membership information from user perspective.
  8. To match the LDAP user properties, specify the User Name, User ID and Description fields.
  9. Select the Groups tab and specify the filter, by which to list groups.
  10. To match the LDAP group properties, specify the Group Name, Group ID and Group Description fields.
