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, which requires 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 BIRT iHub users and user groups

LDAP base domain names and object classes that contain iHub users and user groups information

Actuate Open Security uses an LDAP configuration file to map BIRT iHub system information to LDAP object attributes. For more information about Actuate Open Security, see the System Console documentation in System Administration Guide and reference implementations available in BIRT iHub Integration Technology.
