Gathering LDAP information
An optional Open Security application ships with Actuate iHub Integration Technology. This application uses a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) security database to control access to the Encyclopedia volume. To use the Open Security application, you need to perform a custom installation and specify the following additional information:
Name of the LDAP server and the port on which the LDAP server listens
LDAP account and password used to query the LDAP server
LDAP server organization that contains the Actuate users, roles, and groups
LDAP base domain names and object classes that contain Actuate user, role, and group information
LDAP group name assigned as the Actuate Encyclopedia volume administrator role
Actuate Open Security uses an LDAP configuration file to map the Encyclopedia volume user information to LDAP object attributes. For more information on Actuate Open Security, see the reference implementations available in Actuate iHub Integration Technology.
