erprise Portal- Authentication

ationabout portal is that user can be authenticated against LDAP. I have tried this with MS Active Directory, and it

a champ. It supports both Flat Hierarchy, and Deep Hierarchy. Please check with your LDAP admin what kind of our company is using. Do ask him/her to create a read only user which can be used to configure you LDAPHere are few advantages using LDAP:

n’t have to create user id for portal. Just imagine if you have1000’s of users.

e less password to remember, as it will be same as LDAPs easy to setup.

don’t have LDAP you can still create local user, which work fine as well. For our test servers we will be using localon’t have the infrastructure to setup a LDAP server.

e both database as well as LDAP repository for authentication. Generally company's use database for external usersor company employee

g Portal to LDAP Data Source. Make sure you test the connection and if you have a LDAP account. Try to signat account. You should be able to sign on and should only get an empty page

to LDAP follow the following steps.

gon to portal

stem Administration >> System configuration >>UM configurationto Data Source tab - By default it is Data source is Database. You can change this to your corporate LDAP

to LDAP server and put the LDAP server and user and do check the user path from your administrator.st the connection and then save.

u are done.u can use a test id to logon and you will see blank page like below
